Question about docker config domain variables

[Tomv23]

Hello, I have a question about the docker configuration env variables:

What is the difference between COOKIE_DOMAIN and DOMAIN_CLIENT and how to configure them with a domain and VPS ?

Hello, to configure the website with a domain on a VPS you need to fill the two variables:

• COOKIE_DOMAIN with the highest common domain between the server and the client.
  • Example 1: You want to host the client on yourdomain.com and the api on api.yourdomain.com, in this case the common domain between the two is yourdomain.com so use this value for COOKIE_DOMAIN
  • Example two: The frontend is hosted on frontend.yourdomain.com and the backend on api.yourdomain.com, in this case the common domain is also yourdomain.com so you can use the same value
  • DOMAIN_CLIENT with the frontend url
    • Example 1: fill with https://yourdomain.com
    • Example 2: fill with https://frontend.yourdomain.com

And when use FRONTEND_URL ?

[Smaug6739]

you can use FRONTEND_URL if your are in the case of example 1 ("classic config"), just fill the FRONTEND_URL variable with the frontend url and the backend will automaticly set COOKIE_DOMAIN and DOMAIN_CLIENT
