-# lighttpd v1.4.x
-
-Here is a config for accessing netdata in a suburl via lighttpd 1.4.46 and newer:
-
-```txt
-$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/netdata/" {
- proxy.server = ( "" => ("netdata" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 19999 )))
- proxy.header = ( "map-urlpath" => ( "/netdata/" => "/") )
-}
-```
-
-If you have older lighttpd you have to use a chain (such as bellow), as explained [at this stackoverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14536554/lighttpd-configuration-to-proxy-rewrite-from-one-domain-to-another).
-
-```txt
-$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/netdata/" {
- proxy.server = ( "" => ("" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 19998 )))
-}
-
-$SERVER["socket"] == ":19998" {
- url.rewrite-once = ( "^/netdata(.*)$" => "/$1" )
- proxy.server = ( "" => ( "" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 19999 )))
-}
-```
-
----
-
-If the only thing the server is exposing via the web is netdata (and thus no suburl rewriting required),
-then you can get away with just
-```
-proxy.server = ( "" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 19999 )))
-```
-Though if it's public facing you might then want to put some authentication on it. htdigest support
-looks like:
-```
-auth.backend = "htdigest"
-auth.backend.htdigest.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.htdigest"
-auth.require = ( "" => ( "method" => "digest",
- "realm" => "netdata",
- "require" => "valid-user"
- )
- )
-```
-other auth methods, and more info on htdigest, can be found in lighttpd's [mod_auth docs](http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ModAuth).
-

-
-It seems that lighttpd (or some versions of it), fail to proxy compressed web responses.
-To solve this issue, disable web response compression in netdata.
-
-Open /etc/netdata/netdata.conf and set in [global]:
-
-```
-enable web responses gzip compression = no
-```
-
-## limit direct access to netdata
-
-You would also need to instruct netdata to listen only to `127.0.0.1` or `::1`.
-
-To limit access to netdata only from localhost, set `bind socket to IP = 127.0.0.1` or `bind socket to IP = ::1` in `/etc/netdata/netdata.conf`.
