Graylog2 path fixes

On the off chance that any else is trying to run Graylog2’s web interface at a path other than the root of a URL (e.g. https://example.com/graylog2/ instead of https://graylog2.example.com/), I have a repository at sciurus/graylog2-web-interface that fixes places where absolute URLs crept in to the code.

The package building instructions are on github at sciurus/docker-rhel-repo. The kernel instructions may also be of interested to anyone attempting to run docker on Fedora.
