Description

I have made an instance of CodaBench in local network (192.168.x.x) and it works fine. In .env and other files, I just use this 192.168.x.x pure ip address to set any necessary variables. Then I would like to make this CodaBench instance available outside the local network.
My network admin mapped public address e.g. 1.2.3.4:12345 to local address e.g. 192.168.x.x:80, and when I visit this CodaBench instance using 1.2.3.4:12345, I got a blank page.
I guess its about the setting problem but not sure what to modify.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the .env and other configuration files used by the local CodaBench instance, then trace how the application handles requests arriving through the mapped public address. Reproduce the blank-page behavior with the public URL and identify the configuration change needed for the instance to render correctly from outside the local network.
