Vikunja SWAG docker: database issues and just cannot get this to work

Support
1

Good day. I am having trouble getting vikunja to work within my docker instance. I use SWAG.

This is my docker-compose-yml

version: '3'

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10
    command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: redacted
      MYSQL_USER: vikunja
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: redacted
      MYSQL_DATABASE: vikunja
    volumes:
      - ./db:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - vj-net

  api:
    image: vikunja/api

    environment:
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_HOST: db
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD: redacted
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_TYPE: mysql 
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_USER: vikunja
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_DATABASE: vikunja
      VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEREGISTRATION: "True" 
      VIKUNJA_SERVICE_TIMEZONE: America/Toronto
      VIKUNJA_SERVICE_FRONTENDURL: https://vj.domain.xyz/
      VIKUNJA_SERVICE_JWTSECRET: redacted

    volumes: 
      - ./files:/app/vikunja/files
    depends_on:
      - db
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - vj-net
  frontend:
    image: vikunja/frontend

    restart: unless-stopped

    networks:
      - vj-net
  proxy:
    image: nginx
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
    depends_on:
      - api
      - frontend
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - vj-net
networks:
  vj-net:
    external: true

my nginx.conf

server {
    listen 80;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://frontend:80;
    }

    location ~* ^/(api|dav|\.well-known)/ {
        proxy_pass http://api:3456;
        client_max_body_size 20M;
    }
}

My swag proxy-conf for vj.mydomain.xyz

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name vj.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;


    location / {

        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
        set $upstream_app 192.168.2.211;
        set $upstream_port 80;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

    }

}

I should note, my SWAG instance is on a different physical server on my LAN, thats why im using 192.168.2.211 instead of vj.

I can get to my local instance just fine. when I go to http://local-ip/api/v1 it says I have a missing or malformed JWT. I cannot access Vikunja from my outside domain.

So when you go to http://192.168.2.211 in you browser it all works fine?
