Describe how to use a local machine for testing a production deployment

[gamesbook]

Description

Allow for rapid changes to DOMAIN_NAME (which currently appears to be hard-coded in a number of files.)

Rationale

It should be possible / straightforward to test the production deployment on a staging machine that is behind the company firewall by simply using a configuration variable (e.g. a value set in the .env file) with that machine's name or IP Address.

Use case(s) / visualization(s)

None.

you could easily alter your resolve.conf to point to your local ip and port

Production deployment as written requires SSL via letsencrypt, right? So changing resolve.conf alone isn’t an option if the machine can’t obtain certs...
