Describe the issue

Hello

I freshly setup a ABS server (v. 2.2.0) on my Synology NAS via Docker and it works pretty fine over web.
But when I try to connect via app (both, Android and iOS) I will get the error massage "Failed to ping server".

On each smartphone, I can reach the ABS server via web browser.
From the local network and also over internet.

I have no proxy in between, just the basic setup and port forwarding for external usage

Maybe it is a timing problem, could I extend the ping timeout on server?

Reference to app project issue: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/403

Steps to reproduce the issue

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker
