Notes

Additional information about how the server.proxy configuration works in Strapi 5 is available in the server configuration documentation.

Manual migration

Users will need to manually update the code:

• If server.proxy is used, it needs to move to server.proxy.koa.

• If server.globalProxy is used, you have 2 choices:

  • move it to server.proxy.global and be aware that it will now work for HTTP/HTTPS requests in addition to strapi.fetch requests,
  • or move it to server.proxy.fetch to keep the exact same functionality as in Strapi v4, where only fetch was proxied.
