Setting ROOT_URL with non-custom domain?

[ghost]

Recently i want to implement a email verification function to my app
which is making use of Meteor.absoluteUrl and ROOT_URL
i am using the OSS plan with non-custom domains.
Any recommendation would be appreciated!

One option you can do is have a Meteor.method (you'll probably want to password protect this method) that sets process.env.ROOT_URL = whatever you pass in something like:

Meteor.methods({
  setRootUrl: (pass, url) {
    if (pass === 'somelongsecretcode') {
      process.env.ROOT_URL = url;
    }
  },
});

Then you'll need to manually call Meteor.call('somelongsecretcode', ' http://iw0e8fh9asdhf.now.sh'), but that should work.
