Hi @megatonix,
I'm very confused regarding your environment. The PHP version does not match the BookStack version for the Ubuntu version. Based upon 23.02.1-ls67 it sounds like you might be using the linuxserver docker image? But that's not clear since docker is not otherwise mentioned.

Can you confirm exactly how you installed/run BookStack?

After switching nginx serwer IP address

What exactly do you mean by this, what IP did you change? What Nginx is this? Is that within a container? Or on a host system?

even i deleted nginx dir

Exactly what directory did you delete? Why did you delete this?

Ok so i installed bookstack on 192.168.0.10 but my nginx proxy manager was on 192.168.0.20 now i switch nginx from 192.168.0.20 to 192.169.0.10. After this a cannot load login page.

I Deleted ngix dir in bookstack/nginx then restarted container and nginx dir recreated

All of this is very environment dependant, and you didn't really answer all questions. It's going to be hard for me to make advisories as I cannot get a clear picture/idea of your environment.

If you are getting a 504 Gateway Time-out, it's likely your config within nginx-proxy-manager is wrong. You'll need to make sure this is forwarding requests to the right IP.

Can you still access the nginx proxy-manager interface?
Do you host anything else using nginx proxy manager? If so, can you still access those services?
Are you using docker-compose? If so, please provide your docker-compose yaml for BookStack.

now i switch nginx from 192.168.0.20 to 192.169.0.10. After this a cannot load login page.

A 192.169.x.x IP address is not within private network space, are you sure that's correct and available on your network?

It's my mistake. Everything is in 192.168.x.x.

Yes i can still acces nginx proxy-manager interface
Yes everything is working fine on my nginx, like Nextcloud AIO, grafana, UptimeKuma
My docker compose:

version: "3"
services:
  bookstack:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack
    container_name: bookstack
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - APP_URL=http://book.domain.com
      - DB_HOST=bookstack_db
      - DB_PORT=3306
      - DB_USER=bookstack
      - DB_PASS=
      - DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp
    volumes:
      - ./bookstack:/config
    ports:
      - 6875:80
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - bookstack_db
  bookstack_db:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb
    container_name: bookstack_db

    volumes:

On my router i only switch redirection from nginx on serwer 192.168.10.20 to nginx on serwer 192.168.0.10

@megatonix Thanks for the extra info. Could you also provide a screenshot of the proxy host config form for BookStack, within nginx-proxy-manager? You can blank any private domain info, but just want be sure of the config used on that side of things too.

Thanks @megatonix, but why hide the "Forward Hostname / IP" field?

From what I can tell, that field has an IP matching 192.168.1xx.xxx, whereas above you have stated the following:

Ok so i installed bookstack on 192.168.0.10

Which does not fit that IP.

Also, just to confirm since it's getting a little confusing, are both nginx and bookstack now on the same host with IP 192.168.0.10? If not, can you confirm what host IP each of these is at.

Okay, but IP addresses starting with 192.168. are in the private address space (On your internal network only) so it doesn't provide much privacy/security, really only adds confusion in this case.

Within the "Forward Hostname / IP" for BookStack, you could try using the value host.docker.internal, and if that doesn't work maybe try 172.17.0.1, This is just to be sure it's pointing to the host system port.

@megatonix , I have a very helpful youtube video to share with. I think it will help understand how we manage Nginx proxy manager.
