We installed rstudio in a docker container and configured it following

https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200552326-Running-RStudio-Server-with-a-Proxy

In order to use a sub-uri: example.com/rstudio. This is a work situation, and the server example.com is behind a firewall. To access websites behind the wall I typically tunnel like 

ssh -L 8000:example.com:80 other_server

When I do this for example.com I can load pages like example.com/test.html. However, when I try localhost:8000/rstudio, it maps me right back to example.com/rstudio.

Is there something I could add to the configuration in the linked docs page that would make things work through the tunnel?

I can suggest you quick&dirty hack:

  1. Add example.com = 127.0.0.1 at your local PC
  2. ssh -L 8000:remote_server_ip:80 other_server
  3. Try go to http://example.com/rstudio

It can be caused by mod_rewrite of your rstudio instance I think

Look here for more examples of SSH tunneling, maybe it will help too.
