Domain name change

What would be involved in changing the domain name of the forums? I've had to do this many times in the past and most times, it's been an absolute nightmare. Nodebb seems so well designed that I'm hoping it's a relatively simple task.

Nodebb seems so well designed that I'm hoping it's a relatively simple task.Pretty much what [@PitaJ](https://community.nodebb.org/user/pitaj) said, yes. Just update your DNS records so the new domain points to your NodeBB's IP (or reverse proxy), and update `config.json` with the new domain. Everything uses relative links, and `url` in `config.json` is only ever used in situations where we don't have any context as to what URL to use, such as email digests.

Probably if your NodeBB is from the mid 2010s, then it is possible some assets could still be using absolute URLs... but since then, at least the main plugins all use relative URLs.

Sorry to revive such an old thread. Is this still the case with nodebb 4 with ActivityPub? I vaguely remember that in other ActivityPub software it's somewhat problematic to change hostname.
