Hosted server returning localhost/web instead – Nginx

I have a website host on a server in Digital Ocean that is behaving weirdly.

The website is written in Flask which is deployed in Docker and using reverse proxy with a combination of Let’s Encrypt to host on the web.

The website’s domain is mes.th3pl4gu3.com.

If I go on mes.th3pl4gu3.com/web/ the website appears and works normal.

If I go on mes.th3pl4gu3.com/web it gives me http://localhost/web/ in the URl instead and conenction fails.

However, when I run it locally, it works fine.

I’ve checked my nginx logs, when i browse mes.th3pl4gu3.com/web/ the access_logs returns success but when i use mes.th3pl4gu3.com/web nothing comes to the log.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this ?

Below are some codes that might help in troubleshooting.

server {

server_name   mes.th3pl4gu3.com;

  location / {
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/mes/access_mes.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/mes/error_mes.log;
    proxy_pass  http://localhost:9003; # The mes_pool nginx vip
  }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/..........
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/........
    include /etc/letsencrypt/.........
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/......

}

server {
    if ($host = mes.th3pl4gu3.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot



  listen        80;
  server_name   mes.th3pl4gu3.com;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot


}

Can someone please help or if anyone has any clue why this might be happening ?
