Good to hear; thanks for letting the list know, so that the next person
with the issue will be able to find the answer too.

>From briefly looking at the Gentics Mesh documentation, it appears that
you might want to configure a few other parts of it to include the
"/mesh" prefix too, if you want to expose those parts through the nginx
reverse proxy.

/mesh-ui/ and /demo/ are things that may want to be changed -- but it
is also probably reasonable not to make those available externally.

Cheers,
