When i install social (or do a reset) I am asked for the base url of my server. I am using MYNAME.dyndns.org.
When I run the app it properly creates the user as @MYUSER@MYNAME.dyndns.org
However, If i try to send a message to my server on Mastodon, I see that it’s trying to use the localhost url from the Mastodon error message:
When I use the OCC command to check the install It’s clear that it’s using localhost for the server URL
{
“cloud_url”: “https://MYNAME.dyndns.org/”,
“social_url”: “http://localhost/nextcloud/index.php/apps/social/”,
“social_address”: “”,
“service”: 1,
“max_size”: 10,
“access_type”: “all_but”,
“access_list”: “”
}
In this case, shouldn’t the social url use the dyndns.org address? Can someone please help me to understand this?
Adding Config.php (without sensitive data)
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
.......SNIP.......
'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => 'MYNAME.dyndns.org',
),
'datadirectory' => '/var/www/nextcloud/data',
'dbtype' => 'mysql',
'version' => '19.0.1.1',
'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://localhost/nextcloud',
'dbname' => 'nextcloud',
'dbhost' => 'localhost',
'dbport' => '',
'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
'mysql.utf8mb4' => true,
.......SNIP.......
'installed' => true,
'maintenance' => false,
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
'app_install_overwrite' =>
array (
0 => 'social',
1 => 'dashboard',
2 => 'occweb',
3 => 'issuetemplate',
),
.......SNIP.......
);
UPDATE:
I have updated the overwrite.clu.url with the actually URLand it has had no affect on the problem. When I check install with OCC I still get the same social URL as above
Update:
figured out how to change the social url:
sudo -u www-data php ./occ config:app:set --value “https://MYNAME.dyndns.org/nextcloud/index.php/index.php/apps/social/” social social_url
which results in:
- Your current configuration:
{
“cloud_url”: “https://MYNAME.dyndns.org/”,
“social_url”: “https://MYNAME.dyndns.org/nextcloud/index.php/index.php/apps/social/”,
“social_address”: “”,
“service”: 1,
“max_size”: 10,
“access_type”: “all_but”,
“access_list”: “”
}
This allowed me to send a toot from mastodon.social but it was never received by social
