Changing domain name of lemmy server (lemmy.borlax.com)

Hey everyone, I am looking to change the domain name of my self hosted instance and had a question.

I used the Ansible installation instructions originally and am now curious if it would be as easy as editing the “hosts” file and the “config.hjson” file before running the playbook again?

Will this overwrite the necessary configurations and grab a new SSL while keeping the content of the instance intact?

My main concern is breaking federation.

Thanks for any insight.

Yeah, that was my concern as well, figured this post could spark a discussion and maybe someone would have a solution or at least some extra insight. I know there is a LOT going on with development right now, so I don't expect a priority here, especially because they are definitely working within the confines of ActivityPub functionality when it comes to federation. Thanks for your input!
