Can't setup URL for outside access

[element0355]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a custom URL for out side access.

I added PRODUCTION_HOST: chat.example.com to the options.yml file and ran docker compose up --build but when trying to access chat.example.com I get the error below:

It looks like the README is mistaken and you cannot currently set PRODUCTION_HOST via the options.yml file. PRODUCTION_HOST needs to be set in your environment variables, only app_url_host can be set via options.yml. Damn that's confusing!

We're in a bit of a weird spot with these two URLs and once we upgrade to Rails8 we can consolidate these. So try this:

1. Remove everything you did with PRODUCTION_HOST and instead, in your options.yml set app_url_protocol to be https (assuming you have that setup) and set app_url_host to chat.example.com. Note that PRODUCTION_HOST supports multiple hosts (comma separated) but this app_url_host does not.

2. If that first option doesn't work for some reason (but I hope it does) then just set PRODUCTION_HOST as an environment variable.

I think we should really phase out PRODUCTION_HOST and update the readme instructions, although in order to phase that out we may need to solve how we support multiple hosts with app_url_host....

Option 1 worked, thank you so much for the information!

I just updated the README to reflect this new advice so I'll close this out now.
