Social Well Known

We have the social app for nextcloud but get this error.

I have searched on the file manager as cloudron don't have a setting for Nextcloud and I can't find it.

Yeah, I think perhaps a new setting for Nextcloud well-known needs adding, like we have for Matrix etc already see https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#well-known-locations

Hopefully, Cloudron staff @girish can add this.

Are you talking about https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/social or something else? I have installed that for testing and can't seem to find the place where you see the error.

It is on the home page of the social app.

I have found the issue; it was because we changed the URL of the app and even though Cloudron updates Nextcloud the Social App doesn't seem to get updated.

@mhgcic ah , good debugging. I know that caldav/carddav stuff fixes itself properly in nextcloud but maybe social app has a bug?

I tested this out quickly. Indeed, the app auto creates an id of the form @nc.domain.com . After domain change, it doesn't adapt. But I don't think this is a bug in the app. Most of the federated apps (even outside nextcloud) cannot change their domain post installation.

I thought the same!

It seems to be a bit of a bugger that, on the other hand, I located the folder for well-known but nowhere does it show the URL in the files in the well-known folder for the app.

I have messaged the developer of the app to see if they could put in the description to only install on a URL that will not change or find a way around it but I don't think the developers of federated apps have it high on their priority to make domain name changes possible.
