After 3 days ,finally I figured out the issue. You have to do the below steps to make it work :

  1. Go to the geoserver directory inside apatche/webapps
  2. Open the web.xml file inside web-inf for editing
  3. Uncomment the below tag and edit the value to you tomcat main url as below :
    <context-param>
      <param-name>PROXY_BASE_URL</param-name>
      <param-value>https://XXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX/geoserver</param-value>
      </context-param>
  1. Save the file and everything works.

This problem can be solved with JVM parameter -DALLOW_ENV_PARAMETRIZATION=true and environment variable PROXY_BASE_URL=https://XXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX/geoserver.

Tested on kartoza/geoserver:2.20.1 (snippet from docker-compose.yml):

environment:
  - JAVA_OPTS="-DALLOW_ENV_PARAMETRIZATION=true"
  - PROXY_BASE_URL=https://XXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX/geoserver
