In: https://guardianproject.dev/butter/churn/src/branch/new_portal_changes/ansible/templates/keanu-weblite-config.json.j2

I currently have the following:
{
"appName": "Keanu on Butter Box",
"appNames": {},
"productLink": "{{ butter_name }}.local",
"defaultServer": "http://{{ butter_name }}.local",
"rtl": false,
"analytics": {
"enabled": false
}
}

I can change the app name to 'Message board', and I didn't see any documentation around the other options you reference (defaultMatrixDomainPart and defaultBaseUrl) so I will need to do some tests before integrating them.

defaultMatrixDomainPart is what kind of usernames your server creates, i.e. the domain part like "@n8fr8:". It is then used to determine which matrix server to connect to, in the following priority order: 1. Config file entries in the "matrixDomainPartMapping" config value, 2. Auto discovery (https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-js-sdk/classes/matrix.AutoDiscovery.html#findclientconfig), 3. defaultBaseUrl.

I noticed that after I changed the hostname via the butter portal, the hostnames in the Dendrite config and Keanu/Convene config were not updated. They were stil set to "butterbox.local"
