change of hostname does not take effect

[MRChriz385]

hello guys,

I use VM with Ubuntu desktop on a Synology NAS.

I already installed Bitwarden with docker and can access the installation with https://localhost.

When I change the hostname in the global.override.conf for example in: https://bitwarden.local or bitwarden-xy.xy it does not work. Using an IP Address does not work either.

I checked the nginx config, and the hostname I choose is found there. But I still cannot access bitwarden with another name as localhost.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

Hi @MRChriz385 ,

Thank you for your report!

I was able to reproduce this issue, and I have flagged this to our engineering team.

I suspect that the changed hostname in config.yml has not correctly propogated to globaloverride.env as descibed here:

https://bitwarden.com/help/hosting-faqs/#q-how-do-i-change-the-name-of-my-server

As a workaround, please propogate this manually and then update your certificates accordingly.

We use GitHub issues as a place to track bugs and other development related issues. If you need more help with this procedure, please write us back using our contact form, so we can continue troubleshooting: https://bitwarden.com/contact/

If you wish to add any further information/screenshots/recordings etc., please feel free to do so at any time - our engineering team will be happy to review these.

Thanks once again!

Hi @atjbramley,

thank you for your fast answer.

I changed the hostname and started ./bitwarden.sh rebuild. Then I got this error:

The hostname in config.yml and global.override.conf is the same.

Hi @MRChriz385,

At this stage we would like to use this GitHub page for commentary directly related to the issue itself. Your next steps are likely to be configuration related, and as such I'd invite you to contact us through our contact form for Technical Assistance:

hi @atjbramley,

i solved these errors, but i still can not access the bitwarden app with the browser. The hostname in both config files is the same (bitwarden.local).

Edit: I can get access via "https://localhost" and IP address. When I do an Email Verification it sends me to the "bitwarden.local" (my hostname" address.

Do you have an idea what else I can do to access with the hostname ?
