Can the baseURL of the UI be configured?

[undera]

It's not something that is configurable as of today, but I hear your request and will look onto how to fulfill it sooner.

Note to myself: vitejs/vite#5081

To reproduce, used following prompt to ChatGPT:

I want to write a simple Python proxy, need it to test some other project. The proxy should accept all HTTP requests starting with path "/subpath" and forward queries to "http://localhost:8090" to respective subpaths.

Took the resulting Python script and ran it. Worked flawlessly, reproduced the problem.

I spent some time trying to fix this problem, here are the challenges I discovered:

1. Due to the use of BrowserRouter, we have a problem of loading JS/CSS assets from index.html. Telling Vite to use ./ as base directory fixes the initial load, but not reloads of internal pages
2. API calls suffer from the same problem, where relative path of page is different when viewing root page vs /claims vs concrete claim

For further fixing this:

1. We may need to make base path configurable from helm chart values
2. or We may switch to HashRouter, keeping in mind the need for drawer tabs to remember current tab in URL

This all will take a bit more time to address
