Not sure if this is the right place for this question/discussion, if it not, please let me know and I will put it where it should be.
I have my octopus management console running on a specific domain (example: octopus.domain-name.com) currently. However, I would like to change it to another domain name, how can I do that?
Would I just change the config file, would that update the DB accordingly?

Not sure
I am not sure but I don't think you can change this, only on clean install.
Somewhere in the conf files (octopus.cf or barracuda.cf) is written that this is only possible during install not on upgrade.
I was also looking for this.
You can install multiple
You can install multiple octopus instances on a server.
One solution would be to install a new instance with the new name and move your sites over.
I believe that if you copy the site folder for each domain and "verify" that platform, BOA will import the domain. But how that relates to having it also recorded in a second Octopus instance, I am not sure.
Yeah, moving the sites from
Yeah, moving the sites from one Octopus instance to another is simple, e.g. o1 to o2:
cp -R /old/platform /new/platform (this includes the existing sites)
chown -R o2:user /new/platform
Add platform in your o2 instance.
When verifying the sites will be imported (the database remains where it is)
Remove old vhost from /data/disk/o1/config/server_master/nginx/vhost.d/*
service nginx restart

Why not to add an alias in
Why not to add an alias in the hostmaster site if you need different URL?
hostmaster site?
Omega8cc:
What file would that be that I would add an alias in? My problem is that I used to put it under a domain that I let expire and the 2nd issue is that my server provider put me in a cloud based vhost where I have a NAT:ed address and external address and that has caused some challenges.
Thank you for all the help.
