Everything is working great locally, but I want to change localhost:portNumber with some domain name. So that I may access it from anywhere rather than just consulting my local machine. I didn't find anything helpful in making swagger documentation globally accessible. Kindly help me to specify my url I want to change my localhost:xyzportNumber to some domain name url so that I can access my api documentation online. Currently everything working great locally but im not sure how to change base url. this is my swashbuckle version

        //            // about them, you can use the "Schemes" option as shown below.

        //            // It expects "complex" Schemas to be defined separately and referenced. For this reason, you should only
        //            // use the "MapType" option when the resulting Schema is a primitive or array type. If you need to alter a
        //            // complex Schema, use a Schema filter.

        //            // In a Swagger 2.0 document, complex types are typically declared globally and referenced by unique
        //            // Schema Id. By default, Swashbuckle does NOT use the full type name in Schema Ids. In most cases, this
        //            // works well because it prevents the "implementation detail" of type namespaces from leaking into your
        //            // Swagger docs and UI. However, if you have multiple types in your API with the same class name, you'll
        //            // need to opt out of this behavior to avoid Schema Id conflicts.
        //            //
        //            //c.UseFullTypeNameInSchemaIds();

        //            // Alternatively, you can provide your own custom strategy for inferring SchemaId's for

        //            // Obsolete attribute 
        //            //c.IgnoreObsoleteProperties();

        //            // In accordance with the built in JsonSerializer, Swashbuckle will, by default, describe enums as integers.
        //            // You can change the serializer behavior by configuring the StringToEnumConverter globally or for a given
        //            // enum type. Swashbuckle will honor this change out-of-the-box. However, if you use a different
        //            // approach to serialize enums as strings, you can also force Swashbuckle to describe them as strings.

        //            // Similar to Schema filters, Swashbuckle also supports Operation and Document filters:

        //            //
        //            //c.OperationFilter<AssignOAuth2SecurityRequirements>();

        //            // with the same path (sans query string) and HTTP method. You can workaround this by providing a

Where should I specify my url?

You can use the below setting and get the swagger root url from the web config file:

.EnableSwagger(c =>
{                                                 
    c.RootUrl(req => GetRootUrlFromAppConfig());
})

The method - GetRootUrlFromAppConfig() should get the root url from the configuration.
