When HTTPS is turned on, you might need to configure the dashboard URL so that other services know the correct way to reach the dashboard.

This is especially true when a non public certificate is used.

You can configure the dashboard URL (e.g. https://your.dashboard.com/pi) in 3 ways (see below):

Note that /pi is important in https://your.dashboard.com/pi

The Dashboard URL setting in the configuration tool

The dashboard.json configuration file

Edit "dashboardUrl" in dashboard.json for the "renderer" and the "scheduler" items:

{ //... "renderer": { //... "dashboardUrl": "https://your.dashboard.com/pi", //... }, "scheduler": { //... "dashboardUrl": "https://your.dashboard.com/pi" }, //... }

The environment variables

If you’re using a docker environment or an AMI, you will want to add the following environment variables:

  • RENDERER_DASHBOARD_URL="https://your.dashboard.com/pi"

  • SCHEDULER_DASHBOARD_URL="https://your.dashboard.com/pi"
