Hello, its my first time dealing with such "issue".
I had error when making a request in development to my API from the server side of next.js (connection refused)

On the browser i am making requests such as http://localhost/api/... those directly point to my API server
But on the next.js's server enviroment for example page.tsx doing so fails. I had to make request to my API via http://{nginx_service_name}/api...

Is this how it should be?
Do i need 1 env variable for the browser and 1 env variable for the server side of next.js?
Am i understanding correctly, that on the browser i must use the domain example.com/api ,and on the server i should use the nginx service name?

Thank you!
