How to Change Pickcel On-Premise Server from IP Address to Domain Name?

If you're migrating your Pickcel on-premise deployment to use a domain name instead of an IP address, follow the steps below:

Edit the .env File

  2. Open the .env file using nano(or Vi): In this example: nano .env

  3. Find and update the following fields with your domain name:

    > SERVER_NAME=your.domain.com
> PICKCEL_SERVER_HOST=http://your.domain_name.com

  4. After making the changes, save the file: Press Ctrl + X. Then press Shift + S to save and exit

Update the NGINX Configuration

  1. Open the NGINX config file: nano nginx/nginx.conf

  2. Scroll to the bottom and replace the existing server name or IP with your new domain name.

  3. Save and exit: Press Ctrl + X, then Shift + S

Restart the Server

Apply the changes by restarting the Docker containers:
