Added the option to run Doccano with a URL prefix instead of always running from the domain root. The prefix is configured by specifying a `BASE_URL` environment variable. To run Doccano under `/doccano/`, set `BASE_URL` to '/doccano/': ```sh export BASE_URL=/doccano/ ``` When we now compile the front-end, all routes are prefixed with BASE_URL. We also need to let Django know about our new prefix. This is done using the same BASE_URL, but needs to be set during runtime. I could not find a clean method to do them both during runtime. Since such a configuration will most likely only be used in combination with a load balancer, I also added the option to set `USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST` using environment variables.

Thanks! Please write some test cases. After that, I'll merge this PR. |
Note that these URLs should probably not be defined in the view anyways. I patched them here because I am not familiar enough with the project to fix this cleanly.

Great, will do. Any tips about where to start for someone unfamiliar with the project (and Django in general)? I expect I should extend |

Still in progress? @Vinno97 |

This hasn't been on my radar for quite a long time. The project I needed this fix for, was finished up a while ago. I'd be willing to write some tests for it, but I'm still equally unfamiliar with the project and Django. So some pointers will be needed |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These lines seem to make the URL (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/projects) inaccessible. settings.BASE_URL is evaluated as True.
