baseURL is not working

[ajankowy035]

Hi guys! I am currently working with strapi v4 and we have implemented this CKEditor which has great features. However I am facing a problem with this baseURL configuration which is not working properly IMO. Or I am doing something wrong.
So I provided changes according to your documentation:

My config/api.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  baseURL: env('PUBLIC_URL', 'http://localhost:1337'),
});

The result:

So after adding adding baseURL to config/api.js nothing is happening and sources for uploaded images inside text editor are not prefixed with provided URL.

Is there any possible solution for that issue?

@ajankowy035 did you find a fix for this? Im also having issues

[ajankowy035]

no, I didn't find a fix for that. We found another way - using nginx on frontend - we created a redirection to the strapi app when it's calling /uploads

Does anyone know the solution to this?

[ajankowy035]

@hypong Maybe you could try to transform the response with controller in strapi? controllers

If anyone is wondering, adding a "url" property to the module under server.js (./config/server.js) in the Strapi folder did the trick, here is what the config looks like:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  host: env("HOST", "0.0.0.0"),
  port: env.int("PORT", 1337),
  url: env("PUBLIC_URL", "http://localhost:1337"), // <- ADDING THIS LINE TO THE CONFIG
  app: {
    keys: env.array("APP_KEYS"),
  },
});

I tried both methods, and adding the baseURL property to the .config/api.js file did nothing. You could use process.env in a ternary condition if you want to have the url adjusted based on the server environment.
