Describe the Scenario
During installation, we provide the URL or IP, for example 192.168.1.12
Everything was installed correctly, by entering IP 192.168.5.12 in the browser, the page appears and you can log in.
I wanted to enter the domain instead of the IP, e.g. "bookstack.home.lan"
Just like for other such network services on my LAN.
I entered a redirect in my DNS router from "bookstack.home.lan" to IP: 192.168.5.12.
DNS works, but now when you enter the domain "bookstack.home.lan" in the browser, it is automatically redirected to the IP address that was entered during installation.
Can this redirect be disabled somehow?
Due to this redirection from the domain to the IP in the browser, I am not able to configure the zero trust cloudflare tunnel to enter another domain from the public network to the LAN.
It doesn't work because it's a redirect.
While away from home in a public network, entering e.g. "bookstack.tunel.ovh", after authentication, it redirects me to the local IP address which is known only in the LAN network, not WAN.
How to disable this IP/domain redirection so that the browser shows any domain that has been entered for this host's IP address in DNS server. Didn't the browser redirect the address from the domain to the IP entered during installation?
Thanks!

Hi @cosmicDustOfLightLength,
To change the URL after running the script, you need to alter two files:
/var/www/bookstack/.envFind the
APP_URLentry in this file, then update it to behttp://bookstack.home.lan(or https if active)./etc/apache2/sites-available/bookstack.confAt about line 2 of this file, change the value for
ServerNameto bebookstack.home.laninstead of your IP. You'll need to restart apache after doing this.sudo systemctl restart apache2.service.Note that BookStack only supports being hosted on one hostname/domain/origin-name at a time.
Typically, where you may have different public/private addresses, you'd be better off standardising on the externally accessibly address for both, so use the external address for internal use also.

You should also make use of the following command as described here:
https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/commands/#update-system-url
This is to alter all exisiting content to the new URL.
