I am unable to login to the Elastic App Search (7.6.0)

I see the Request URL in the header is set to localhost:3002. The request to localhost:3002 would fail on the browser as localhost refers to 127.0.0.1

## You can see favicons are trying to load using localhost:3002

## Css and JS files load correctly using the domain

## The login post request is sent to localhost:3002 port

## docker-compose.yml file

```auto

```

### I want to set or override the localhost:3002 value to "domain-name"

## Nginx Reverse Proxy

```auto
server {

        server_name <domain-name>;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:3002;
        }
}

```

Adding below as an environment solves the issue:

```auto
app_search.external_url: http://<domain-name>

```
