Hello everyone,
I’d like to ask for some advice. I currently have a domain like bbb.mydomain.com, and I’d like to change it to meet.mydomain.ru. Do I only need to update the address in BBB, or are there other places where changes are required?

The DNS records are already prepared. I’d like to switch to the new domain without any issues.
Greenlight is running in Docker, and I have Grafana connected for monitoring.
I'm using BBB version 2.7.

There was a time I had to change the IP address of my server, and I discovered that BigBlueButton (BBB) stopped working correctly until I manually updated the IP address in several configuration files.

Your issue seems similar. I have a feeling you might need to update the domain name in multiple BBB files as well. I can't recall exactly which files I had to modify—I just followed the error messages and fixed them one by one.

This is definitely something you'd want to handle during off-peak hours.

It is possible. After changing the domain, you should just install the BBB with the bbb-install.sh script and setting the new domain name.
then try to do a bbb-conf --status && bbb-conf --check. some files are not updated after the install script. Your best bet is to grep in the /opt/ directory for the old domain or old IP address.
