Laravel form displayed as raw text - laravel

Question

My problem is probably related to server configuration problem. This is the issue. I am developing a Laravel website that works fine when developing on my local machine (using the laradock docker environment).
I wanted to run it on a small local machine so I turned on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 server and installed docker on it. Checked out my code and ran composer install.
After going to the main registration page, I see that parts of the registration form are displayed as raw text :
I don't see any errors when using the developers page and also no errors in the php-fpm, workspace or nginx container from laradock that hosts the website.
Any idea?
code:
<?php
$ip = get_ip_address();
$countries = [
"Afghanistan" => "Afghanistan",
"Albania" => "Albania",
"Zimbabwe" => "Zimbabwe"
];
?>

All the values echoed with {{ }} are sent through the htmlentities function of PHP. If you want to skip that, than you should use another notation:
{!! $unescaped_html !!}
