GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Cannot config APPLICATION_ROOT and STATIC_ASSETS_PREFIX
<!-- Answer --> Superset’s subpath deployment (using APPLICATION_ROOT and STATIC_ASSETS_PREFIX) is still BETA in 6.0.0 and has some known gaps. The static asset prefix often doesn’t apply everywhere, and the user_info menu URL is hardcoded without the prefix—these are recognized issues and not fully fixed in your version [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/35027)]. For best results, set the environment variable SUPERSET_APP_ROOT to `/analytics` in your Helm values (not just in superset_config.py), and let Superset auto-populate APPLICATION_ROOT and STATIC_ASSETS_PREFIX. Also, set ENABLE_PROXY_FIX = True and PROXY_FIX_CONFIG = {"x_for": 1, "x_proto": 1, "x_host": 1, "x_port": 1, "x_prefix": 1} to ensure Superset trusts the X-Forwarded-Prefix header from nginx. Your nginx config should set `proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Prefix /analytics;` [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/35712)]. The missing prefix in user_info is a known bug; the only workaround is to rewrite `/user_info/` to `/analytics/user_info/` at the proxy or with custom middleware until a newer Superset release lands with a fix [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/35027)]. Static assets may also need explicit proxy rules for `/analytics/static/` [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/36453)]. After changing config, clear your browser cache to avoid stale bootstrap data causing broken links. If you need more robust subpath support, consider upgrading to a release after late 2025 or using a subdomain instead of a subpath [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/36903)]. Let me know if you want example Helm values or nginx config for this setup. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
