The Essential Project Forum

Is it possible to change the Target Viewer URLs in the Essential Docker setup?

I'd like to make the following changes:

https://myeasite/viewer_1/ → https://myeasite/prod/
https://myeasite.com.br/viewer_2/ → https://myeasite.com.br/pre-prod/
https://myeasite.com.br/viewer_3/ → https://myeasite.com.br/sandbox/

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately not. Those URLs are used internally by the application to route the publish process as well as other things. They need to be static.

The labels "prod", "pre-prod", "sandbox" etc can be changed in the System Admin screens but if we allowed the URLs to include these "labels" then the endpoint for the Viewer could change which might break people's bookmarks as well as our routing. We'd also have to handle special characters, spaces, etc.

This would actually take quite a bit of effort to achieve and would mean a re-architecture of how Viewer is packaged, deployed and accessed. I can't see us supporting this in the near future.

Cheers,

Neil
