Bug description

Wrong URL in email (containing localhost)

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup APP_URL. ie APP_URL: monica.mydomain.com
2. Get a reminder email

Additional info

I made an attempt to use APP_URL: https://monica.mydomain.com. I am now waiting for the next reminders to see whether that helps.

...and that did the trick.

TODO

• update the doc to mention that APP_URL should be defined as APP_URL: https://monica.mydomain.com and not APP_URL: monica.mydomain.com
• fix the code so that APP_URL: monica.mydomain.com does work, there is no reason to slide a localhost in there
