I am running self-hosted discourse site forum.embeetle.com and updated yesterday to 2.6.0.beta3 using the " one-click browser upgrade".
Before the update, the forum worked fine. After it, the forum no longer displays topic contents or the top bar with login options as well as some other elements of the web interface. This is how the top page looks now:
It is as if parts of the web page could not be fetched from the server, or maybe javascript code is not running.
Since nobody else seems to be reporting this issue, I assume it is something specific to my setup. I have no clue what. Any suggestions to debug the situation are very welcome.
The installation is self-hosted, running in Docker and communicating via a unix socket with my Nginx server running outside Docker. This setup has worked well for a long time and I did not change it.
The Firefox development console shows these errors after opening the top page of the forum:
Uncaught TypeError: Discourse.getURL is not a function

I tried rebuilding using ./launcher rebuild app. It did some updates, but the problem persists. I also tried ./discourse-doctor. Everything looked normal. See discourse-doctor output below.
