[SalesForce] How to get salesforce instance url

To access chatter rest api using APEX code, I need salesforce instance server url in following format:

https://na17.salesforce.com

Is there any method which works in all cases

Case 1: Any Development Org

Case 2: My Domain Enabled

Case 3: Sandbox

Case 4: Managed Package

You are looking for URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().

Edit

The Winter 19 release is introducing another method to get the URL, which will give you the canonical URL for your org: URL.getOrgDomainUrl().

Returns the canonical URL for your org. For example, https://yourDomain.my.salesforce.com or, for orgs without My Domain enabled, https://yourInstance.salesforce.com.

Both of the above methods return a System.URL. If you would like the string version, simply call .toExternalForm() on that instance. For example:

String baseUrl = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm();

You would need to use Reflection so as to not have any compile time reference to chatter entities. So

if (Schema.SObjectType.User.isFeedEnabled())
{
sObject fItem = (sObject)System.Type.forName('FeedItem').newInstance();
fitem.put('ParentId' ,UserInfo.getUserId()); // or Account or Contact or Opportunity Id
fItem.put('Body' ,'Hello world');
insert fItem;
}

Your code must be run in a without sharing context in order for it to have access to the CollaborationGroup SObject. I'm guessing that your Utility class which contains the query is not explicitly declared as without sharing, so you can do one of two things:

Move all of your code into your actual PostInstall Script Apex class (the one that implements InstallHandler).
If possible, change the signature of your Utility class to be without sharing.
Extract out the particular logic that executes this query into a separate Utility class that is declared as without sharing.
