Configuring the application root
Please be advised that this feature is in BETA.
Superset supports running the application under a non-root path. The root path prefix can be specified in one of two ways:
Setting the SUPERSET_APP_ROOT environment variable to the desired prefix.
Customizing the Flask entrypoint by passing the superset_app_root variable.
Note, the prefix should start with a /.
i set it in bitnami/superset ,but it is not work!!!
like this i want root url is http://ip:port/superset ,i want it deploy on k8s.

Hi @worldofchu! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the superset team.
Running Superset 5.0.0 under a subpath like
/supersetin Kubernetes (with Bitnami) is not fully supported due to known bugs and hardcoded paths in that version. Even with the correct settings, you will likely encounter broken redirects, missing prefixes in API calls, and static asset issues. These problems are fixed only in versions released after mid-August 2025.If you still want to try, set
SUPERSET_APP_ROOT,APPLICATION_ROOT, andSTATIC_ASSETS_PREFIXto/supersetin both your environment variables andsuperset_config.py, and setENABLE_PROXY_FIX = True. In your Kubernetes deployment, use the Bitnami Helm chart'sextraEnvorextraEnvRawto injectSUPERSET_APP_ROOT. Your Nginx (or ingress) config should proxy/superset/to the backend and setproxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Prefix /superset/(notX-Script-Name) for best compatibility. Example config and more details: issue comment.However, even with all this, 5.0.0 will not fully work under a subpath due to frontend bugs. The only robust solution is to upgrade to a newer Superset version that includes the recent fixes (PR 34395, PR 34680) source.
If you must stay on 5.0.0, there is no complete workaround—expect broken links and features. For reference, see the Bitnami Helm chart docs for how to set extra environment variables.

Thanks ！
I don't want to bind to version 5.0. I want to use the newly deployed one.
When can we expect a new version to support pathbase？
dosubot commentedon Aug 29, 2025
Full pathbase (subpath) support is expected in the next major Superset release, version 6, which is planned for the second half of 2025. The key fixes for subpath deployment were merged in August 2025 (PR #34395, PR #34680), so any release after that date should include them. You can track the release schedule and check the changelog for confirmation of these fixes and other features here.

While I haven't tested this feature personally, 6.0.0rc1 is available for testing now. We'll be releasing a new release candidate soon, so if you find any issues there, let us know!

Closing this issue as it appears to be a support/configuration question rather than a bug report. For questions about configuring Superset (such as setting a path base), please use:
Thank you for using Apache Superset!
