Example:

Generally this can be solved via configuration by setting ROOT_URL accordingly, but I'll take this up as a bug as we should not render absolute URLs in HTML where relative ones (without origin) are sufficient.

Thanks for the feedback and the tip. I searched the issues for a similar problem but it can be difficult to know what terms to use. Changing the ROOT_URL has resolved the issue.

Hi, i have installed the gitea in Truenas Scale (not core). Now, i have the ROOT_URL error too. But, when i modify the ROOT_URL in app.ini and reboot the gitea, the ROOT_URL didn't work, it still convert back into the default ROOT_URL in app.ini. Do you have any idea? thanks!
