Thymeleaf. Server does not see templates directory, how can I point to it if I packaged app to jar

I have a java Spring Boot application that uses Thymeleaf and Model in my Controller. Also I have templates directory in my resources where all .html pages are located. My Controller

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/frontView")
public class FrontController {
    private final CameraService cameraService;

    public FrontController(CameraService cameraService) {
        this.cameraService = cameraService;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/firstCameraData", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String dataListFromFirstCamera(Model model) {
        cameraService.returnAllCars(model, "firstCamera");
        return "firstCamera.html";
    }

Part of .pom file that I think is the only useful for determining the issue

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>
                        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
                        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
                    </exclude>
                </excludes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>de.qaware.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>go-offline-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.8</version>
            <configuration>
                <downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
                <downloadJavadoc>false</downloadJavadoc>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I don't have any configuration classes for my application or thymeleaf - the problem I stuck with - locally everything works just fine. My application is running locally on Tomcat and I can see localhost:8080/frontView/firstCameraData page just fine, but after deploying my application on server in .jar file I'm getting 404 page not found

I think that the problem is - when my application is running on server it does not see resources/templates directory. I know that it maybe could be solved by repackaging the application in .war and putting my .html files in webapp directory, but I don't want this. Are there any solutions that will allow me to let the server see that directory being in .jar format?

Actually that wasn't the problem of packaging in .jar or .war. I had the helm configured, and in my values.yaml I had the default path...

corePath: /core

So, for my controller to work it should be done like this

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/core/frontView")
public class FrontController {
    private final CameraService cameraService;

    public FrontController(CameraService cameraService) {
        this.cameraService = cameraService;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/firstCameraData", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String dataListFromFirstCamera(Model model) {
        cameraService.returnAllCars(model, "firstCamera");
        return "firstCamera.html";
    }

And after that the correct link would be http://*****/core/frontView/firstCameraData

Many thanks to @chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic for help
