🐛 [OpenProject] <unable to change the host name in the 'System Settings' >

[kejXero]

Description

I am running OpenProject as an Home Assistant add-on. I have changed the port number from the default 8080 to 18080, due port is being used in another add-on. After login, at the buttom of the webpage, the following is stated: Hostname setting mismatch. Your application is running with its host name setting set to localhost:8080, but the request is a 192.168.XX.YY hostname. This will result in errors! Go to System settings and change the "Host name" setting to correct this. It is not possible to change the host name from the current localhost:8080.

Reproduction steps

1. Go to 'Login screen'
2. Click on 'System settings / General'
3. Scroll down to 'Host name'
4. See error, unable to change host name from localhost.

I agree with this issue. Neither it allows to change hostname from the System settings / General tab nor it takes from Add-on config.yaml files. I can't even set OPENPROJECT_HTTPS="true" It doesn't take any environment variables set in the config.yaml file.

@baldarn Hi, I think you initially set up the add-on would you have time to check? Or should I discontinue the add-on? Thanks!

[baldarn]

I will try and take a look.

I didn't see this issue till you pinged me ;)

Thanks! No worry, it's not like we're on a payroll ;-)

@ash286 @kejXero
i strongly recommend to use a proxy over the addon.

you can use nginix proxy admin
this can allow you to rewrite the hostname, add an ssl certificate, without changing the confs of the other addons

Thank you @alexbelgium and @baldarn for responding to this even though you are not on a payroll. I really appreciate it.

I'm not sure how can I combine nginix with cloudflare tunnel that I'm using. For testing purpose, I tried assigning variables OPENPROJECT_HTTPS, OPENPROJECT_HOST__NAME, SERVER_PROTOCOL_FORCE_HTTPS and OPENPROJECT_PORT direclty using portainer that created another container and worked but it still can't work over cloudflare tunnel. I mean I get the login screen but as soon as I make login it doesn't redirect into anything and all I see is a white screen. This is now different issue but, I have similar problem with nextcloud where I can see nextcloud login screen over the other end of cloudflare tunnel but loggin in doesn't take me anywehre. (Apparently, nextcloud has a configuration option to set extern url in trusted_domains and to change port).

I am a bit lost with Openproject and nextcloud. Your help and suggestions would be great🙏
