@forem
I followed forem.dev/foremteam/self-host-quic... install instructions and did not use t2d script, dokku, or heroku. I have a successful install but need to unset\change the default email I used. I plan to put this install on Google Cloud into production. Before I get too far along in the setup, should I start over and choose a different path or make other actions now to make future admin easier? Thank you.

Hey @ecobrett Congrats on successfully following Self-host and getting your Forem set up!
Afaik, the answer to this question kinda depends on whether you're more comfortable re-running the playbook or accessing your .env files via SSH (it's
"DEFAULT_EMAIL"), but @maestromac , @andygeorge , or @djuber may have more expert suggestions for you!If you were comfortable SSH'ing to the server and editing the file (you'll need to
sudosince I think that's a root owned config file, the core user won't be able to edit it) - the DEFAULT_EMAIL is set in/opt/forem/envs/rails.envabout half way down. If you change this, you'll want to restart all services usingforemctlto reload the env file values, it's only read when the services start up.I don't think this requires reloading the systemd services (since you're editing the environment and not the service config itself).
Thanks for clarifying this, Dan! 🙏
