You will have to fix the paths of css and whatever else you got in order to make it work. If Hexo provides a way to set the paths at install then you should reinstall it otherwise you have to manually change the paths. You could even use something like sed to fix the paths in one go if it’s the same line in all files.

@X40C No, Hexo only provides the option to set URL of the root folder as I have mentioned. Since, files will be generated dynamically and new files will be put in manually changing the path of these files doesn’t seem like a good idea, but I’ll try it though.
I don’t know how to use sed in this case. Can you please elaborate?

It seems that Hexo allows you to pick the root directory as well as the domain.

Website in subdirectory
If your website is in a subdirectory (such as http://example.org/blog) set url to http://example.org/blog and set root to /blog/.

The above is from https://hexo.io/docs/configuration.html

@X40C As you can see in my hexo’s _config.yml, I have set my domain to blog.mysite.io and the root directory as /blog/public. If I set it as just /blog or just /, the website breaks.

Just installed a Hexo blog on a box with nginx as proxy and everything seems to be working as expected. The website is under blog.domain.tld. I`ve used the default nginx.conf and only added poxypass param to it. I did add the servername and root params as well but nothing was different. This is what the config looks like:

“` server_name _;

    location /
    {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
    }
