How do I integrate my career page at firma.de/karriere using a reverse proxy?

This guide explains how to correctly operate a career website via a reverse proxy under a subpath, for example firma.de/karriere.

Goal

If you want your career page to be displayed under your own domain – for example at https://firma.de/karriere – a so-called “reverse proxy” must be set up on your site.

This forwards all calls from your domain internally to our servers. This means that the domain remains the same for visitors, but the content comes from your career page at softgarden.

Technical part for your IT

Important: softgarden-standard-name.career.softgarden.de must, of course, be adjusted to match your softgarden standard domain.


Requirements

  • Your domain (e.g. firma.de) points to your web server in the DNS

  • HTTPS is active on your server

  • The origin softgarden-standard-name.career.softgarden.de is publicly accessible via HTTPS

  • The domain and path /career are stored in the career page builder (for canonical URLs and redirects). Our support will take care of this.


NGINX Example

location /career {
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_ssl_name softgarden-standard-name.career.softgarden.de;
proxy_set_header Host softgarden-standard-name.career.softgarden.de;
proxy_pass https://softgarden-standard-name.career.softgarden.de/;
}

Tests and acceptance checklist

  • /karriere/_next/static/... provides files (e.g. CSS, JS)

  • /karriere/_next/data/... provides JSON data

  • No 404 errors on static resources

  • No mixed content warnings

  • Redirects remain in the /career path

  • Optional for video application: WebSocket connections (status 101) work


Summary
