Laravel app on production returns error 404 on everything except index page

I have successfully installed Jetstream. npm run dev runs fine. However, I can only access the index page- all other pages including login and register return 404. Here's my setup :

server {

    server_name example.com www.example.com;

    listen [::]:443 ssl http2 ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
    listen 443 ssl http2; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    #include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_ciphers EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!MD5;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    ssl_stapling on;
    ssl_stapling_verify on;
    resolver 8.8.8.8;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        gzip_static on;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass app:9001;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }

    root /var/www/html/public;
    index index.php index.html;

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}

My Laravel .env file has this configuration:

APP_URL=http://localhost

My docker-compose.yml file looks like this:

version: "3.7"

I have a NGINX reverse proxy on my host machine forwarding requests to post 8444 like so:

location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        proxy_pass https://localhost:8444;
        proxy_redirect     off;
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
    }

php artisan route:list returns all the correct app routes.
