Description

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Visit e.g. https://overleaf.domain.tld/admin/register to register a new user
  2. Fill all requested entries, i.e. name and mail address
  3. Finish registration process

Expected Behaviour

The active setting of NGINX_{HTTP,TLS}_LISTEN_IP should be used, i.e. https://overleaf.domain.tld/ is contained in the invitation link.

Observed Behaviour

The final link to invite the new user contains localhost

Context

I have to correct the invitation link, i.e. replace localhost, by the correct URL.
