[FEAT] Support for --abs-proxy-base-path

[caph1993]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

In order to serve on a base path (an url prefix), code-server has an argument named --abs-proxy-base-path, but this argument is not configurable from the docker arguments.

Reason for change

This is useful for anyone who needs to serve a landing webpage at, say, example.com, and a vscode editor for the webpage at example.com/code.

It is also useful if you want to have different workspaces for different users on the same domain: example.com/user1/workspace with one container and example.com/user2/workspace with a second one.

Proposed code change

Add an if block for --abs-proxy-base-path here and passing the argument here

I applied the changes on a fork and re-built the image, but this argument is not serving on a subpath. I misunderstood it's meaning.

The way to serve on a subpath is to use a reverse-proxy with a configuration like this one. A developer says that all links are relative so it should work in this way.

Hi @caph1993 , thanks for your feedback, In my case I'm finally using subdomains instead of path
