### Technical Details: `root_path` { #technical-details-root-path }

When you mount a sub-application as described above, FastAPI will take care of communicating the mount path for the sub-application using a mechanism from the ASGI specification called a `root_path`.

That way, the sub-application will know to use that path prefix for the docs UI.

                    // This would typically call file's internal flush method
                    // For now, we log the action as the actual implementation
                    // depends on SmbFile's internal caching mechanism
                    log.info("Flushed write cache for: {}", path);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    log.error("Error flushing write cache for path: " + path, e);
                }

This would allow you to have a more fine-grained permission system, following the OAuth2 standard, integrated into your OpenAPI application (and the API docs).

OAuth2 with scopes is the mechanism used by many big authentication providers, like Facebook, Google, GitHub, Microsoft, X (Twitter), etc. They use it to provide specific permissions to users and applications.

protocols, like OAuth2 in a relatively simple way.

You can learn more in the **Advanced User Guide** about how to use OAuth2 "scopes", for a more fine-grained permission system, following these same standards. OAuth2 with scopes is the mechanism used by many big authentication providers, like Facebook, Google, GitHub, Microsoft, X (Twitter), etc. to authorize third party applications to interact with their APIs on behalf of their users....

You could have a proxy that adds a path prefix to your application.

In these cases you can use `root_path` to configure your application.

The `root_path` is a mechanism provided by the ASGI specification (that FastAPI is built on, through Starlette).

The `root_path` is used to handle these specific cases.

And it's also used internally when mounting sub-applications.

# Virtual Environments { #virtual-environments }

When you work in Python projects you probably should use a **virtual environment** (or a similar mechanism) to isolate the packages you install for each project.

/// info

If you already know about virtual environments, how to create them and use them, you might want to skip this section. 🤓

///

/// tip

A **virtual environment** is different than an **environment variable**.

Und Sie können viele gut gepflegte und weit verbreitete Packages wie `passlib` und `python-jose` direkt verwenden, da **FastAPI** keine komplexen Mechanismen zur Integration externer Pakete erfordert.

Aber es bietet Ihnen die Werkzeuge, um den Prozess so weit wie möglich zu vereinfachen, ohne Kompromisse bei Flexibilität, Robustheit oder Sicherheit einzugehen.
