Changed frontend to use dynamic base URL instead of hardcoded localhost:5000. Problem: - Frontend was hardcoded to use http://localhost:5000 for API calls - In production on Fly.io, this caused requests to fail (localhost in browser) - Browser tried accessing http://localhost:5000/api/tanks instead of the deployed URL Solution: - Use builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress for API base URL - This automatically uses the current host: - Production (Fly.io): https://vandaemon.fly.dev - Local dev: http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port serves the app) - Nginx proxies /api and /hubs requests to the backend API (port 5000) Result: - API calls now work correctly: https://vandaemon.fly.dev/api/tanks - SignalR connects to: https://vandaemon.fly.dev/hubs/telemetry - Works in both production and local development environments
