Hi Nels,

If you want apps as webroot, you have to do a little more effort.
In composer installations, apps don't live below /web/horde/ but below 
/web/.
This is similar to what we do on our official site:

bugs.horde.org -> whups
wiki.horde.org -> wicked

You need to make sure every app is web readable. You also need to make 
sure the js and themes directories are accessible through the expected 
links.
Best put a custom file in var/config/registry.d/99-custom-urls.php

<?php

// First the web dirs for the static assets
$this->applications['horde']['jsuri'] = 'https://assets.foo.org/js/horde/';
$this->applications['horde']['staticuri'] = 'https://assets.foo.org/static';
$this->applications['horde']['themesuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/themes/horde/';

// Then the templates and app url
$this->applications['horde']['webroot'] = 'https://groupware.foo.org';

// Same for all apps which get their own subdomain

$this->applications['ansel']['jsuri'] = 'https://assets.foo.org/js/ansel/';
$this->applications['ansel']['themesuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/themes/ansel/';
$this->applications['ansel']['webroot'] = 'https://gallery.foo.org';

$this->applications['kronolith']['jsuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/js/kronolith/';
$this->applications['kronolith']['themesuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/themes/kronolith/';
$this->applications['kronolith']['webroot'] = 'https://calendar.foo.org';

// Also please hardcode the path to all apps which don't get their own 
domain

$this->applications['passwd']['jsuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/js/passwd/';
$this->applications['passwd']['themesuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/themes/passwd/';
$this->applications['passwd']['webroot'] = 'https://apps.foo.org/passwd';

$this->applications['content']['jsuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/js/content/';
$this->applications['content']['themesuri'] = 
'https://assets.foo.org/themes/content/';
$this->applications['content']['webroot'] = 'https://apps.foo.org/content';

Next you need to make sure you actually have matching DNS entries and 
vhosts in your web server pointing to these webroots.

You can mix and match every combination of stuff that has its own 
subdomain and stuff that has an explicit path below a common subdomain.
Make sure all subdomains have a common root domain and that your root 
domain is the cookie domain for your setup.

We will probably want to expand on this in the future, providing support 
for a list of distinct root domains and SOP settings. But this is not 
currently in the code while the above is demonstrated working.
