Server URL

Defines the default base URL for OpenBoxes. This should be updated based on the deployment environment.

Configuration

grails:
  serverURL: http://localhost:8080/openboxes

Customization

The default is fine if you're running OpenBoxes locally. When OpenBoxes is deployed on a server, you'll need to update this value to match the public IP address of the deployment.

grails:
  serverURL: http://your_vm_ip_address:8080/openboxes

In addition, if you follow our Post Deployment guide (i.e. using a custom domain, enabling SSL, and putting OpenBoxes behind a reverse proxy server) then your grails.serverURL will need to match (i.e. http->https, remove port, add custom domain)

grails:
  serverURL: https://openboxes.example.com/openboxes

Finally, if you decide to change the Context Path (i.e. deploy OpenBoxes via the root context path) you'll also need to make sure you update the grails.serverURL to reflect the change.

grails:
  serverURL: https://custom.example.com/
