Hi All, I’m running a Discourse container using the Bitnami image. The issue I experience there that all templates use example.com for the %{base_url} variable and I don’t seem to be able to change this. I created a support ticket at Bitnami but while searching I never can find anywhere on the int…

We do not support installs using Bitnami images here. The recommendation is to install Discourse following the standard install guide if you want support.

I understand but that is in the base not my question: Where does %{base_url} come from or where is it based under ? I cannot even find that in the Discourse documentation or forum.

How do I change the %{base_url} from example.com to my own domainname so my email-templates are parsed like they should ?

It sounds like something has gone wrong with your install if this isn’t being populated with the correct domain. As has been mentioned, it may be easier for you to follow the standard install and restore a backup if you’ve still not managed to track down what’s gone wrong.

I know, but changing it after the first run doesn’t fix it, so I wonder if it needs to be done from the first run as I like to know if it sets this host(name) staticly or not.

Is the Bitnami container also compiling Discourse completely new when updating it, like the official one? The variable seems to be defined here: lib/discourse.rb 26b7f8a result << ":#{ENV["UNICORN_PORT"] || 3000}" if Rails.env.development? && SiteS…

Thank you for your support so far! I was, comparing to you findings, also thinking about config my install as single multisite. This could maybe make it work, but it’s indeed a matter of trying to sort things out where I have the feeling that Bitnami doesn’t change anything on Discourse itself; so w…
