I've already setup successfully all the containers with a subdomain
before. However I found it very clunky and annoying. So I'm trying to
set them all up on a subdirectory of the main domain.

However every single application does two things. I get a blank page,
or a page with no css loaded. It's just text and no formatting or
images. If I inspect, in the console it says a bunch of 404 for
things.

I'm assuming this has to do with needing the root & index to be set
for each location. If so, I have no clue how to set this across
containers. I already have a network of all them together and can use
their hostname to set them.

Currently I'm trying to get npm itself in a subdirectory, but I get
the 404 errors & am now getting a different issue that might be caused
by me and now has to be reinstalled.

Keep using subdomains!

Using subdirectories will cause a lot of problems and headaces. A
nightmare to setup properly for multiple applications due to relative
paths, hardcoded routes and many more factors. For some apps you would
even have to adjust the source code or web proxy config to get things
to work.

Too much hassle.

I feared this, seeing how little documentation there was. A bit
disappointing the sub-domains work, but don't look as good as the sub-
paths. Hopefully it get's easier.
