Custom domain instructions (IMPORTANT)

By default we setup a CNAME on elestio.app domain, but probably you will want to have your own domain.

Step1: add your domain in Elestio dashboard as explained here:

https://docs.elest.io/books/security/page/custom-domain-and-automated-encryption-ssltls

Step2: update the env vars to indicate your custom domain Open Elestio dashboard > Service overview > click on UPDATE CONFIG button > Env tab there update APP_URL, APP_DOMAIN, ADMIN_DOMAIN & SESSION_DOMAIN with your real domain

Step3: you must reset the Pixelfed instance DB, you can do that with those commands, connect over SSH and run this:

cd /opt/app;
docker-compose down;
rm -rf ./storage;
./scripts/preInstall.sh
docker-compose up -d
./scripts/postInstall.sh

You will start over with a fresh instance of Pixelfed directly configured with the correct custom domain name and federation will work as expected
