Unable to change hostname displayed in UI

[nafmo]

When installing critic on a server, I entered a FQDN that does not resolve. I am trying to change the FQDN to the IP address in /etc/nginx/sites-available/critic-main and in Critic's base.py and auth.py and restart everything, but the FQDN still displays, both for clone URLs in the web UI and in the URLs output when pushing branches for review.

I think I searched everywhere for a place to change this as well. There is an entry in the database as well but I think that isn't used everywhere either.

I'm pretty sure the entry you need to change is the single row in the systemidentities table in the database. There's no UI for doing this, so I'd run sudo -u critic psql (assuming the system user running Critic is named critic) and then update the hostname column.

Something like UPDATE systemidentities SET hostname='critic.example.org'; should do the trick.

Sorry about the inconvenience. The maintenance side of Critic assumes the administrator is perfect and never makes mistakes. ;-)

I was quite sure I changed the database but the emails with review updates still have the wrong hostname. I'll check when I get home.

That worked for me (at least for the UI, haven't checked email yet). Perhaps there should be a UI to configure this?
