Domain Change
=====================

Changing the domain after the first setup is currently not supported by Nextcloud. That is mainly because Nextcloud's apps don't support changing the domain after they are set up.
Changing the domain after the first setup is quite easy.

.. note::
This documentation will get updated with steps what needs to be done if you want to change the domain as soon as this feature is available.
First, you should have the new domain ready, including DNS, a valid SSL-certificate and the apropriate virtual host entry in the webserver of your choice (apache2, nginx, etc).

Next, simply edit the main config file under (nextcloud-root)/config/config.php and add the new domain as well as the ipv4-adress (and the ipv6-address if you support ipv6) to the trusted_domains array as follows:

.. code-block::
:caption: config.php

'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => 'localhost',
# Change these entries
1 => 'example.com',
2 => '1.2.3.4',
),

Your nextcloud instance should now be fully accessible under the new domain.
