Attempted Debugging

I have read the debugging page

Searched GitHub Issues

I have searched GitHub for the issue.

Describe the Scenario

I installed book stack on a fresh Ubuntu server with the script.
on my local network it works flawlessly at 192.168.1.250.
But after setting up port forwarding on port 50000 and trying to go to http://{my router public IP}:50000 I find a connection timed out error message in the browser.

After a lot of digging with termshark and comparing capture files from connecting from inside the network and outside.
I found that when connecting from inside the local network the URI the base URI in the HTTP packets is "/login" and when connecting from outside the local network it's "/".
so I tried connecting to http://{my router public IP}:50000/login I reached bookstack but with the logos and images broken.
searching in the debugging webpage i found this but it just says I have a problem in my URL.

So..Any ideas??

Exact BookStack Version

22.09

Log Content

No response

PHP Version

8.1.2

Hosting Environment

Ubuntu 22.04.1 installed using official script
