Hey guys,  
is it possible to change the ui url from  
hostname:1880/ui to  
hostname/ui?

Yes, but not from Node-RED. You need a reverse proxy for that. Something like NGINX, Caddy, etc.

Well, strictly speaking, it IS possible from Node-RED by changing Node-RED's PORT setting to `80` or `443` (if using TLS) but this is a really bad idea since it would stop you running any other web service on the server.
