Unable to log in when accessing through Nginx Proxy Manager #1398

I just updated from an older version (v2.something to v3.10.2), but after the upgrade I have been unable to log in via the URL.

As a test, I've wiped the entire container and started from scratch, and I was unable to log in even with the default credentials shown on the page.

I then followed through and attempted to log in using the IP and port instead of the URL, and noticed I was able to log in without an issue.

Only the Mealie and PostgreSQL versions have changed (initially only Mealie, PostgreSQL was updated in case that was the problem when I wiped and started fresh).

Any assistance on how to get this working again, or pointing me to whatever change/s may have caused this, would be appreciated.

Logs for the attempts below:

The last one is me testing whether an intentionally incorrect password gave a different response
