Thanks for clarifying!

If you want to change your domain from the test domain to your permanent domain, you need to change the forem_domain_name in your setup.yml file, and then return to the Self-Host installation instructions beginning at Step 7 where you'll rerun the Playbook for DigitalOcean install.

Don't forget to set up the DNS for your new domain, and restart the Forem Traefik service (sudo systemctl restart forem-traefik.service), too!

If i restart the playbook, a new image will be created. After creating a new image, settings, content and this data will not be lost?

If you want to keep your Test Forem, but turn it into your Real Forem? Then you may want to follow these directions to make the server-side change.

If you're not comfortable making those changes to the server then your best bet is to create a new Forem by running the playbook again.

After entering the commands from the tutorial, an input field is displayed on the command line, should I write a new domain here? If so, in what format?
