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

1

Log in to server and open .env file

Log in to your server terminal. Open the .env file using nano (or Vi): In this example: nano .env
2

Update domain name

Find and update the following fields with your domain name:
SERVER_NAME=your.domain.com
PICKCEL_SERVER_HOST=http://your.domain_name.com
Update domain name in .env file
3

Save the file

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

​
Update the NGINX Configuration

1

Open NGINX config file

Open the NGINX config file: nano nginx/nginx.conf
2

Update domain name and save

Scroll to the bottom and replace the existing server name or IP with your new domain name. Save and exit: Press Ctrl + X, then Shift + S

​
Restart the Server

Apply the changes by restarting the Docker containers: 
sudo docker compose down
sudo docker compose up -d --build
Your Pickcel server should now be accessible via your domain name.
