Hi, I plan to deploy strapi via docker-compose by using the docker-compose file and server.js shows in below. Found out the url configuration in server.js doesn’t work as expected.
I expected to load the api from http://<host_ip>:1337/shelf/ and load admin panel at http://<host_ip>:1337/shelf/admin.
I failed to open admin panel at http://<host_ip>:1337/shelf/admin , the strapi log shows
strapi_1 | [2021-09-09T16:57:07.551Z] debug GET /shelf/admin (5 ms) 404
Insteand I open http://<host_ip>:1337/admin. Not sure what is going wrong. Thank you.

server.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
    host: env('HOST'),
    port: env.int('PORT'),
    url: env('URL'),
    admin: {
        url: '/admin',
        auth: {
            secret: env('JWT_SECRET', '<hide>'),
        }
    }
})

docker-compose.yaml

version: '3'
services:
  strapi:
    build: ./shelf-api
    environment:
      HOST: 0.0.0.0
      PORT: 1337
      URL: http://0.0.0.0:1337/shelf
      DATABASE_TYPE: mysql
      DATABASE_CLIENT: mysql
      DATABASE_HOST: mysql
      DATABASE_PORT: 3306
      DATABASE_NAME: shelf
      DATABASE_USERNAME: <user_name>
      DATABASE_PASSWORD: <password>
      DATABASE_SSL: 'false'
      NODE_ENV: production
    volumes:
      - ./app:/srv/app
    ports:
      - '1337:1337'
    depends_on:
      - mysql

  mysql:
    image: mysql
    command: mysqld --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
      MYSQL_DATABASE: shelf
      MYSQL_USER: <user_name>
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: <password>

the altering to the following on your server.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
    host: env('HOST'),
    port: env.int('PORT'),
    url: env('URL'),
    admin: {
       auth: {
          url: '/admin',
          secret: env('JWT_SECRET', '<hide>'),
    },
  }

No the key should be admin.url so his config was correct there

If you are going down this route the admin.url needs to be absolute path not a relative so the value should be http://0.0.0.0:1337/shelf/admin however you will need to have a proxy application like Nginx sitting in front of this.
