wrong wp-admin redirect when setting up wordpress inside subdirectory

Question

I setup my wordpress in a docker container, use nginx reverse proxy to forward all requests of location /blog to that docker container.

The problem is after logging in to wp-admin, it redirected to domain/wp-admin/ instead of /domain/blog/wp-admin.

What's the problem? I've set WP_SITE_URL and WP_HOME to /blog

@NaveedRamzan: I found the problem is because it redirects to the wp-admin-canonical url which doesn't include /blog, I don't know why wp-admin-canonical value is wrong — Thịnh Phạm

This is what I did to fix it:

// add these lines to wp-config.php
define('WP_SITE_URL', 'http://domain.com/blog');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://domain.com/blog');

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/blog' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

I'm running into similar problem trying to deploy docker/container to url/path . But inside my container, the files are all in /var/www/html and not sub-dir. Is your install also in the root html dir or in subdir /blog?

I think you want to define WP_SITEURL variable instead of WP_SITE_URL
