I can't find the Revolt.toml file in any of the docker containers. Does anyone know how to edit Revolt.toml on a docker deployment? Thank you!

I had the same problem and here is how I could make it work.

You need to download the file Revolt.toml and put it at the same level as the docker-compose.yml file.
If you host revolt on an external server, you need to modify your Revolt.toml file to adapt all your URLs.

After that, you modify the docker-compose,yml file to add this Revolt.toml file as a volume for both containers api and events, something like this:

# API server (delta)
api:
  image: ghcr.io/revoltchat/server:latest
  env_file: .env
  depends_on:
    - database
    - redis
    - caddy
  restart: always
  volumes:
    - ./Revolt.toml:/Revolt.toml

# Events service (quark)
events:
  image: ghcr.io/revoltchat/bonfire:latest
  env_file: .env
  depends_on:
    - database
    - redis
    - caddy
  restart: always
  volumes:
    - ./Revolt.toml:/Revolt.toml

Then you docker compose up -d to restart those two containers, and you should be good.

Thank you very much for your help. I tried what you recommended but I just get a blank page when accessing the server URL through the browser.

[root@server revolt]# curl -v localhost
* Rebuilt URL to: localhost/
*   Trying ::1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost
> User-Agent: curl/7.61.1
> Accept: */*

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Server: Caddy

* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

Sorry, I was being dumb! I did not set the custom domain in .env. It is all working now!

Thanks @jquiaios You are a wonderful person! :)
