Describe the feature you'd like

Pretty simple...support for HTTPs would be nice. If you force the page to load over https (after adding virtualhost 443) the pages are broken because the links in the page reference http...causing them not to load.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

It's HTTPs...it's pretty standard and businesses would benefit greatly.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not that I know of :(

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

0 to 6 months

Additional context

Hi @Mailstorm-ctrl,

You just likely need to update the APP_URL option in your .env file (Commonly at /var/www/bookstack/.env if installed using the Ubuntu install script).
I've have a video guide on adding HTTP if it helps:
