* Run `mix deps.get` to install elixir dependencies.
* Run `mix pleroma.instance gen`. This will ask you questions about your instance and generate a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`. Check that and copy it to either `config/dev.secret.exs` or `config/prod.secret.exs`. It will also create a `config/setup_db.psql`, which you should run as the PostgreSQL superuser (i.e., `sudo -u postgres psql -f config/setup_db.psql`). It will create the database, user, and password you gave `mix pleroma.gen.instance` earlier, as well as set up the necessary extensions in the database. PostgreSQL superuser privileges are only needed for this step.
* For these next steps, the default will be to run pleroma using the dev configuration file, `config/dev.secret.exs`. To run them using the prod config file, prefix each command at the shell with `MIX_ENV=prod`. For example: `MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server`. Documentation for the config can be found at [`docs/config.md`](docs/config.md)

* Run `mix ecto.migrate` to run the database migrations. You will have to do this again after certain updates.
* You can check if your instance is configured correctly by running it with `mix phx.server` and checking the instance info endpoint at `/api/v1/instance`. If it shows your uri, name and email correctly, you are configured correctly. If it shows something like `localhost:4000`, your configuration is probably wrong, unless you are running a local development setup.
* The common and convenient way for adding HTTPS is by using Nginx as a reverse proxy. You can look at example Nginx configuration in `installation/pleroma.nginx`. If you need TLS/SSL certificates for HTTPS, you can look get some for free with letsencrypt: <https://letsencrypt.org/>. The simplest way to obtain and install a certificate is to use [Certbot.](https://certbot.eff.org) Depending on your specific setup, certbot may be able to get a certificate and configure your web server automatically.

# General tips for customizing Pleroma FE
There are some configuration scripts for Pleroma BE and FE:
1. `config/prod.secret.exs`
1. `config/config.exs`
1. `priv/static/static/config.json`
The `prod.secret.exs` affects first. `config.exs` is for fallback or default. `config.json` is for GNU-social-BE-Pleroma-FE instances.
Usually all you have to do is:
1. Copy the section in the `config/config.exs` which you want to activate.
1. Paste into `config/prod.secret.exs`.
1. Edit `config/prod.secret.exs`.
1. Restart the Pleroma daemon.
`prod.secret.exs` is for the `MIX_ENV=prod` environment. `dev.secret.exs` is for the `MIX_ENV=dev` environment respectively.

# Hardening your instance
Here are some suggestions which improve the security of parts of your Pleroma instance.
## Configuration file
These changes should go into `prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs`, depending on your `MIX_ENV` value.
### `http`
> Recommended value: `[ip: {127, 0, 0, 1}]`
This sets the Pleroma application server to only listen to the localhost interface. This way, you can only reach your server over the Internet by going through the reverse proxy. By default, Pleroma listens on all interfaces.
### `secure_cookie_flag`
> Recommended value: `true`
This sets the `secure` flag on Pleromas session cookie. This makes sure, that the cookie is only accepted over encrypted HTTPs connections. This implicitly renames the cookie from `pleroma_key` to `__Host-pleroma-key` which enforces some restrictions. (see [cookie prefixes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie#Cookie_prefixes))
### `:http_security`
> Recommended value: `true`
This will send additional HTTP security headers to the clients, including:
* `X-XSS-Protection: "1; mode=block"`
* `X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: "none"`
* `X-Frame-Options: "DENY"`
* `X-Content-Type-Options: "nosniff"`
* `X-Download-Options: "noopen"`
A content security policy (CSP) will also be set:
```csp
content-security-policy:
default-src 'none';
base-uri 'self';
frame-ancestors 'none';
img-src 'self' data: https:;
media-src 'self' https:;
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
font-src 'self';
script-src 'self';
connect-src 'self' wss://example.tld;
manifest-src 'self';
upgrade-insecure-requests;
```
#### `sts`
> Recommended value: `true`
An additional “Strict transport security” header will be sent with the configured `sts_max_age` parameter. This tells the browser, that the domain should only be accessed over a secure HTTPs connection.
#### `ct_max_age`
An additional “Expect-CT” header will be sent with the configured `ct_max_age` parameter. This enforces the use of TLS certificates that are published in the certificate transparency log. (see [Expect-CT](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Expect-CT))
#### `referrer_policy`
> Recommended value: `same-origin`
If you click on a link, your browsers request to the other site will include from where it is coming from. The “Referrer policy” header tells the browser how and if it should send this information. (see [Referrer policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy))
## systemd
A systemd unit example is provided at `installation/pleroma.service`.
### PrivateTmp
> Recommended value: `true`
Use private `/tmp` and `/var/tmp` folders inside a new file system namespace, which are discarded after the process stops.
### ProtectHome
> Recommended value: `true`
The `/home`, `/root`, and `/run/user` folders can not be accessed by this service anymore. If your Pleroma user has its home folder in one of the restricted places, or use one of these folders as its working directory, you have to set this to `false`.
### ProtectSystem
> Recommended value: `full`
Mount `/usr`, `/boot`, and `/etc` as read-only for processes invoked by this service.
### PrivateDevices
> Recommended value: `true`
Sets up a new `/dev` mount for the process and only adds API pseudo devices like `/dev/null`, `/dev/zero` or `/dev/random` but not physical devices. This may not work on devices like the Raspberry Pi, where you need to set this to `false`.
### NoNewPrivileges
> Recommended value: `true`
Ensures that the service process and all its children can never gain new privileges through `execve()`.
### CapabilityBoundingSet
> Recommended value: `~CAP_SYS_ADMIN`
Drops the sysadmin capability from the daemon.

# How to activate mediaproxy
## Explanation
Without the `mediaproxy` function, Pleroma don't store any remote content like pictures, video etc. locally. So every time you open Pleroma, the content is loaded from the source server, from where the post is coming. This can result in slowly loading content or/and increased bandwidth usage on the source server.
With the `mediaproxy` function you can use the cache ability of nginx, to cache these content, so user can access it faster, cause it's loaded from your server.
## Activate it
* Edit your nginx config and add the following location:
```
location /proxy {
proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
proxy_cache_lock on;
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
}
```
Also add the following on top of the configuration, outside of the `server` block:
```
proxy_cache_path /tmp/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
```
If you came here from one of the installation guides, take a look at the example configuration `/installation/pleroma.nginx`, where this part is already included.
* Append the following to your `prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs` (depends on which mode your instance is running):
```
config :pleroma, :media_proxy,
enabled: true,
redirect_on_failure: true
#base_url: "https://cache.pleroma.social"
```
If you want to use a subdomain to serve the files, uncomment `base_url`, change the url and add a comma after `true` in the previous line.
* Restart nginx and Pleroma

# How to configure upstream proxy for federation
If you want to proxify all http requests (e.g. for TOR) that pleroma makes to an upstream proxy server, edit you config file (`dev.secret.exs` or `prod.secret.exs`) and add the following:
```
config :pleroma, :http,
proxy_url: "127.0.0.1:8123"
```
The other way to do it, for example, with Tor you would most likely add something like this:
```
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 9050}

# How to activate user recommendation (Who to follow panel)
![who-to-follow-panel-small](/uploads/9de1b1300436c32461d272945f1bc23e/who-to-follow-panel-small.png)
To show the *who to follow* panel, edit `config/prod.secret.exs` in the Pleroma backend. Following code activates the *who to follow* panel:
```elixir
config :pleroma, :suggestions,
enabled: true,
third_party_engine:
"http://vinayaka.distsn.org/cgi-bin/vinayaka-user-match-suggestions-api.cgi?{{host}}+{{user}}",
timeout: 300_000,
limit: 23,
web: "https://vinayaka.distsn.org/?{{host}}+{{user}}"
```
`config/config.exs` already includes this code, but `enabled:` is `false`.
`/api/v1/suggestions` is also provided when *who to follow* panel is enabled.
For advanced customization, following code shows the newcomers of the fediverse at the *who to follow* panel:
```elixir
config :pleroma, :suggestions,

# I2P Federation and Accessability
This guide is going to focus on the Pleroma federation aspect. The actual installation is neatly explained in the official documentation, and more likely to remain up-to-date.
It might be added to this guide if there will be a need for that.
We're going to use I2PD for its lightweightness over the official client.
Follow the documentation according to your distro: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/install/#installing
How to run it: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/run/
## I2P Federation
There are 2 ways to go about this.
One using the config, and one using external software (fedproxy). The external software works better so far.
### Using the Config
**Warning:** So far, everytime I followed this way of federating using I2P, the rest of my federation stopped working. I'm leaving this here in case it will help with making it work.
Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Pleroma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
```
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 4447}
```
And then run the following:
```
su pleroma
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
exit
```
You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
```
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
systemctl start i2pd.service
```
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
### Using Fedproxy
Fedproxy passes through clearnet requests direct to where they are going. It doesn't force anything over Tor.
To use [fedproxy](https://github.com/majestrate/fedproxy) you'll need to install Golang.
```
apt install golang
```
Use a different user than pleroma or root. Run the following to add the Gopath to your ~/.bashrc.
```
echo "export GOPATH=/home/ren/.go" >> ~/.bashrc
```
Restart that bash session (you can exit and log back in).
Run the following to get fedproxy.
```
go get -u github.com/majestrate/fedproxy$
cp $(GOPATH)/bin/fedproxy /usr/local/bin/fedproxy
```
And then the following to start it for I2P only.
```
fedproxy 127.0.0.1:2000 127.0.0.1:4447
```
If you want to also use it for Tor, add `127.0.0.1:9050` to that command.
You'll also need to modify your Pleroma config.
Assuming you're running in prod, cd to your Pleroma folder and append the following to `config/prod.secret.exs`:
```
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 2000}
```
And then run the following:
```
su pleroma
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
exit
```
You can restart I2PD here and finish if you don't wish to make your instance viewable or accessible over I2P.
```
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
systemctl start i2pd.service
```
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
You can change the socks proxy port in `/etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf`.
## I2P Instance Access
Make your instance accessible using I2P.
Add the following to your I2PD config `/etc/i2pd/tunnels.conf`:
```
[pleroma]
type = http
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 14447
keys = pleroma.dat
```
Restart I2PD:
```
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
systemctl start i2pd.service
```
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
Now you'll have to find your address.
To do that you can download and use I2PD tools.[^1]
Or you'll need to access your web-console on localhost:7070.
If you don't have a GUI, you'll have to SSH tunnel into it like this:
`ssh -L 7070:127.0.0.1:7070 user@ip -p port`.
Now you can access it at localhost:7070.
Go to I2P tunnels page. Look for Server tunnels and you will see an address that ends with `.b32.i2p` next to "pleroma".
This is your site's address.
### I2P-only Instance
If creating an I2P-only instance, open `config/prod.secret.exs` and under "config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint," edit "https" and "port: 443" to the following:
```
url: [host: "i2paddress", scheme: "http", port: 80],
```
In addition to that, replace the existing nginx config's contents with the example below.
### Existing Instance (Clearnet Instance)
If not an I2P-only instance, add the nginx config below to your existing config at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx`.
And for both cases, disable CSP in Pleroma's config (STS is disabled by default) so you can define those yourself seperately from the clearnet (if your instance is also on the clearnet).
Copy the following into the `config/prod.secret.exs` in your Pleroma folder (/home/pleroma/pleroma/):
```
config :pleroma, :http_security,
enabled: false
```
Use this as the Nginx config:
```
proxy_cache_path /tmp/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=720m use_temp_path=off;
# The above already exists in a clearnet instance's config.

}
location /proxy {
proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
proxy_cache_lock on;
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
}
}
```
reload Nginx:
```
systemctl stop i2pd.service --no-block
systemctl start i2pd.service
```
*Notice:* The stop command initiates a graceful shutdown process, i2pd stops after finishing to route transit tunnels (maximum 10 minutes).
You should now be able to both access your instance using I2P and federate with other I2P instances!

# Easy Onion Federation (Tor)
Tor can free people from the necessity of a domain, in addition to helping protect their privacy. As Pleroma's goal is to empower the people and let as many as possible host an instance with as little resources as possible, the ability to host an instance with a small, cheap computer like a RaspberryPi along with Tor, would be a great way to achieve that.
In addition, federating with such instances will also help furthering that goal.
This is a guide to show you how it can be easily done.
This guide assumes you already got Pleroma working, and that it's running on the default port 4000.
Currently only has an Nginx example.
To install Tor on Debian / Ubuntu:
```
apt -yq install tor
```
If using an old server version (older than Debian Stretch or Ubuntu 18.04), install from backports or PPA.
I recommend using a newer server version instead.
To have the newest, V3 onion addresses (which I recommend) in Debian, install Tor from backports.
If you do not have backports, uncomment the stretch-backports links at the end of `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
Then install:
```
apt update
apt -t stretch-backports -yq install tor
```
**WARNING:** Onion instances not using a Tor version supporting V3 addresses will not be able to federate with you.
Create the hidden service for your Pleroma instance in `/etc/tor/torrc`:
```
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8099
HiddenServiceVersion 3 # Remove if Tor version is below 0.3 ( tor --version )
```
Restart Tor to generate an adress:
```
systemctl restart tor@default.service
```
Get the address:
```
cat /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/hostname
```
# Federation
Next, edit your Pleroma config.
If running in prod, cd to your Pleroma directory, edit `config/prod.secret.exs`
and append this line:
```
config :pleroma, :http, proxy_url: {:socks5, :localhost, 9050}
```
In your Pleroma directory, assuming you're running prod,
run the following:
```
su pleroma
MIX_ENV=prod mix deps.get
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
exit
```
restart Pleroma (if using systemd):
```
systemctl restart pleroma
```
# Tor Instance Access
Make your instance accessible using Tor.
## Tor-only Instance
If creating a Tor-only instance, open `config/prod.secret.exs` and under "config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint," edit "https" and "port: 443" to the following:
```
url: [host: "onionaddress", scheme: "http", port: 80],
```
In addition to that, replace the existing nginx config's contents with the example below.
## Existing Instance (Clearnet Instance)
If not a Tor-only instance,
add the nginx config below to your existing config at `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx`.
---
For both cases, disable CSP in Pleroma's config (STS is disabled by default) so you can define those yourself seperately from the clearnet (if your instance is also on the clearnet).

}
location /proxy {
proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
proxy_cache_lock on;
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
}
}
```
reload Nginx:
```
systemctl reload nginx
```
You should now be able to both access your instance using Tor and federate with other Tor instances!
---
### Possible Issues
* In Debian, make sure your hidden service folder `/var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/` and its contents, has debian-tor as both owner and group by using
```
ls -la /var/lib/tor/
```
If it's not, run:
```
chown -R debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
```
* Make sure *only* the owner has *only* read and write permissions.
If not, run:
```
chmod -R 600 /var/lib/tor/pleroma_hidden_service/
```
* If you have trouble logging in to the Mastodon Frontend when using Tor, use the Tor Browser Bundle.

Replace `priv/static/instance/thumbnail.jpeg` with your selfie or other neat picture. It will appear in [Pleroma Instances](http://distsn.org/pleroma-instances.html).
# Instance-specific panel
![instance-specific panel demo](/uploads/296b19ec806b130e0b49b16bfe29ce8a/image.png)
To show the instance specific panel, set `show_instance_panel` to `true` in `config/dev.secret.exs`. You can modify its content by editing `priv/static/instance/panel.html`.
# Background
You can change the background of your Pleroma instance by uploading it to `priv/static/static`, and then changing `"background"` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
# Logo
![logo modification demo](/uploads/c70b14de60fa74245e7f0dcfa695ebff/image.png)
If you want to give a brand to your instance, look no further. You can change the logo of your instance by uploading it to `priv/static/static`, and then changing `logo` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
# Theme
All users of your instance will be able to change the theme they use by going to the settings (the cog in the top-right hand corner). However, if you wish to change the default theme, you can do so by editing `theme` in `config/dev.secret.exs` accordingly.
# Terms of Service
Terms of Service will be shown to all users on the registration page. It's the best place where to write down the rules for your instance. You can modify the rules by changing `priv/static/static/terms-of-service.html`.
# Message Visibility
To enable message visibility options when posting like in the Mastodon frontend, set
`scope_options_enabled` to `true` in `config/dev.secret.exs`.

# Installing on Alpine Linux
## Installation
This guide is a step-by-step installation guide for Alpine Linux. It also assumes that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/install-alpine-linux-on-your-linode/#configuration). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su -l <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.
### Required packages
* `postgresql`
* `elixir`
* `erlang`
* `erlang-parsetools`
* `erlang-xmerl`
* `git`
* Development Tools
#### Optional packages used in this guide
* `nginx` (preferred, example configs for other reverse proxies can be found in the repo)
* `certbot` (or any other ACME client for Lets Encrypt certificates)
### Prepare the system
* First make sure to have the community repository enabled:
```shell
echo "https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repository
```
* Then update the system, if not already done:
```shell
sudo apk update
sudo apk upgrade
```
* Install some tools, which are needed later:
```shell
sudo apk add git build-base
```
### Install Elixir and Erlang
* Install Erlang and Elixir:
```shell
sudo apk add erlang erlang-runtime-tools erlang-xmerl elixir
```
* Install `erlang-eldap` if you want to enable ldap authenticator
```shell
sudo apk add erlang-eldap
```
### Install PostgreSQL
* Install Postgresql server:
```shell
sudo apk add postgresql postgresql-contrib
```
* Initialize database:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
```
* Enable and start postgresql server:
```shell
sudo rc-update add postgresql
```
### Install PleromaBE
* Add a new system user for the Pleroma service:
```shell
sudo adduser -S -s /bin/false -h /opt/pleroma -H pleroma
```
**Note**: To execute a single command as the Pleroma system user, use `sudo -Hu pleroma command`. You can also switch to a shell by using `sudo -Hu pleroma $SHELL`. If you dont have and want `sudo` on your system, you can use `su` as root user (UID 0) for a single command by using `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL -c 'command'` and `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL` for starting a shell.
* Git clone the PleromaBE repository and make the Pleroma user the owner of the directory:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /opt/pleroma
sudo chown -R pleroma:pleroma /opt/pleroma
sudo -Hu pleroma git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma /opt/pleroma
```
* Change to the new directory:
```shell
cd /opt/pleroma
```
* Install the dependencies for Pleroma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get
```
* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu pleroma mix pleroma.instance gen`
* Answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `rebar3`.
* This may take some time, because parts of pleroma get compiled first.
* After that it will ask you a few questions about your instance and generates a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`.
* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Pleroma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):
```shell
mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
```
* The previous command creates also the file `config/setup_db.psql`, with which you can create the database:
```shell
sudo -Hu postgres psql -f config/setup_db.psql
```
* Now run the database migration:
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
```
* Now you can start Pleroma already
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
```
### Finalize installation
If you want to open your newly installed instance to the world, you should run nginx or some other webserver/proxy in front of Pleroma and you should consider to create an OpenRC service file for Pleroma.
#### Nginx
* Install nginx, if not already done:
```shell
sudo apk add nginx
```
* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:
```shell
sudo apk add certbot
```
and then set it up:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --standalone
```
If that doesnt work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesnt work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).
* Copy the example nginx configuration to the nginx folder
```shell
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/conf.d/pleroma.conf
```
* Before starting nginx edit the configuration and change it to your needs (e.g. change servername, change cert paths)
* Enable and start nginx:
```shell
sudo rc-update add nginx
sudo service nginx start
```
If you need to renew the certificate in the future, uncomment the relevant location block in the nginx config and run:
```shell
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
```
#### OpenRC service
* Copy example service file:
```shell
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/init.d/pleroma /etc/init.d/pleroma
```
* Make sure to start it during the boot
```shell
sudo rc-update add pleroma
```
#### Create your first user
If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
```

sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --standalone
```
If that doesnt work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesnt work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).
---
* Copy the example nginx configuration and activate it:
```shell
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx
```
* Before starting nginx edit the configuration and change it to your needs (e.g. change servername, change cert paths)
* Enable and start nginx:
```shell
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx.service
```
If you need to renew the certificate in the future, uncomment the relevant location block in the nginx config and run:
```shell
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
```
#### Other webserver/proxies
You can find example configurations for them in `/opt/pleroma/installation/`.
#### Systemd service
* Copy example service file
```shell
sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
```
* Edit the service file and make sure that all paths fit your installation
* Enable and start `pleroma.service`:
```shell
sudo systemctl enable --now pleroma.service
```
#### Create your first user
If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
```

# Pleromaの入れ方
## 日本語訳について
この記事は [Installing on Debian based distributions](Installing on Debian based distributions) の日本語訳です。何かがおかしいと思ったら、原文を見てください。
## インストール
このガイドはDebian Stretchを仮定しています。Ubuntu 16.04でも可能です。
### 必要なソフトウェア
- PostgreSQL 9.6+ (postgresql-contrib-9.6 または他のバージョンの PSQL をインストールしてください)
- Elixir 1.5 以上 ([Debianのリポジトリからインストールしないこと ここからインストールすること!](https://elixir-lang.org/install.html#unix-and-unix-like))。または [asdf](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) を pleroma ユーザーでインストール。
- erlang-dev
- erlang-tools
- erlang-parsetools
- erlang-xmerl (Jessieではバックポートからインストールすること)
- git
- build-essential
- openssh
- openssl
- nginx prefered (Apacheも動くかもしれませんが、誰もテストしていません)
- certbot (または何らかのACME Let's encryptクライアント)
### システムを準備する
* まずシステムをアップデートしてください。
```
apt update && apt dist-upgrade
```
* 複数のツールとpostgresqlをインストールします。あとで必要になるので。
```
apt install git build-essential openssl ssh sudo postgresql-9.6 postgresql-contrib-9.6
```
(postgresqlのバージョンは、あなたのディストロにあわせて変えてください。または、バージョン番号がいらないかもしれません。)
### ElixirとErlangをインストールします
* Erlangのリポジトリをダウンロードおよびインストールします。
```
wget -P /tmp/ https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i /tmp/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
```
* ElixirとErlangをインストールします、
```
apt update && apt install elixir erlang-dev erlang-parsetools erlang-xmerl erlang-tools
```
### Pleroma BE (バックエンド) をインストールします
* 新しいユーザーを作ります。
```
adduser pleroma
```
(Give it any password you want, make it STRONG)
* 新しいユーザーをsudoグループに入れます。
```
usermod -aG sudo pleroma
```
* 新しいユーザーに変身し、ホームディレクトリに移動します。
```
su pleroma
cd ~
```
* Gitリポジトリをクローンします。
```
git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma
```
* 新しいディレクトリに移動します。
```
cd pleroma/
```
* Pleromaが依存するパッケージをインストールします。Hexをインストールしてもよいか聞かれたら、yesを入力してください。
```
mix deps.get
```
* コンフィギュレーションを生成します。
```
mix pleroma.instance gen
```
* rebar3をインストールしてもよいか聞かれたら、yesを入力してください。
* この処理には時間がかかります。私もよく分かりませんが、何らかのコンパイルが行われているようです。
* あなたのインスタンスについて、いくつかの質問があります。その回答は `config/generated_config.exs` というコンフィギュレーションファイルに保存されます。
**注意**: メディアプロクシを有効にすると回答して、なおかつ、キャッシュのURLは空欄のままにしている場合は、`generated_config.exs` を編集して、`base_url` で始まる行をコメントアウトまたは削除してください。そして、上にある行の `true` の後にあるコンマを消してください。
* コンフィギュレーションを確認して、もし問題なければ、ファイル名を変更してください。
```
mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
```
* これまでのコマンドで、すでに `config/setup_db.psql` というファイルが作られています。このファイルをもとに、データベースを作成します。
```
sudo su postgres -c 'psql -f config/setup_db.psql'
```
* そして、データベースのミグレーションを実行します。
```
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
```
* Pleromaを起動できるようになりました。
```
MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
```
### インストールを終わらせる
あなたの新しいインスタンスを世界に向けて公開するには、nginxまたは何らかのウェブサーバー (プロクシ) を使用する必要があります。また、Pleroma のためにシステムサービスファイルを作成する必要があります。
#### Nginx
* まだインストールしていないなら、nginxをインストールします。
```
apt install nginx
```
* SSLをセットアップします。他の方法でもよいですが、ここではcertbotを説明します。
certbotを使うならば、まずそれをインストールします。
```
apt install certbot
```
そしてセットアップします。
```
mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/.well-known
% certbot certonly --email your@emailaddress --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ -d yourdomain
```
もしうまくいかないときは、先にnginxを設定してください。ssl "on" を "off" に変えてから再試行してください。
---
* nginxコンフィギュレーションの例をnginxフォルダーにコピーします。
```
cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx
```
* nginxを起動する前に、コンフィギュレーションを編集してください。例えば、サーバー名、証明書のパスなどを変更する必要があります。
* nginxを再起動します。
```
systemctl reload nginx.service
```
#### Systemd サービス
* サービスファイルの例をコピーします。
```
cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/pleroma.service
```
* サービスファイルを変更します。すべてのパスが正しいことを確認してください。また、`[Service]` セクションに以下の行があることを確認してください。
```
Environment="MIX_ENV=prod"
```
* `pleroma.service` を enable および start してください。
```
systemctl enable --now pleroma.service
```
#### モデレーターを作る
新たにユーザーを作ったら、モデレーター権限を与えたいかもしれません。以下のタスクで可能です。
```
mix set_moderator username [true|false]
```
モデレーターはすべてのポストを消すことができます。将来的には他のことも可能になるかもしれません。
#### メディアプロクシを有効にする
`generate_config` でメディアプロクシを有効にしているなら、すでにメディアプロクシが動作しています。あとから設定を変更したいなら、[How to activate mediaproxy](How-to-activate-mediaproxy) を見てください。

# Installing on NetBSD
## Required software
pkgin should have been installed by the NetBSD installer if you selected
the right options. If it isn't installed, install it using pkg_add.
Note that `postgresql11-contrib` is needed for the Postgres extensions
Pleroma uses.
The `mksh` shell is needed to run the Elixir `mix` script.
`# pkgin install acmesh elixir git-base git-docs mksh nginx postgresql11-server postgresql11-client postgresql11-contrib sudo`
You can also build these packages using pkgsrc:
```
databases/postgresql11-contrib
databases/postgresql11-client
databases/postgresql11-server
devel/git-base
devel/git-docs
lang/elixir
security/acmesh
security/sudo
shells/mksh
www/nginx
```
Copy the rc.d scripts to the right directory:
```
# cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/nginx /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/pgsql /etc/rc.d
```
Add nginx and Postgres to `/etc/rc.conf`:
```
nginx=YES
pgsql=YES
```
## Configuring postgres
First, run `# /etc/rc.d/pgsql start`. Then, `$ sudo -Hu pgsql -g pgsql createdb`.
## Configuring Pleroma
Create a user for Pleroma:
```
# groupadd pleroma
# useradd -d /home/pleroma -m -g pleroma -s /usr/pkg/bin/mksh pleroma
# echo 'export LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8"' >> /home/pleroma/.profile
# su -l pleroma -c $SHELL
```
Clone the repository:
```
$ cd /home/pleroma
$ git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma.git
```
Configure Pleroma. Note that you need a domain name at this point:
```
$ cd /home/pleroma/pleroma
$ mix deps.get
$ mix pleroma.instance gen # You will be asked a few questions here.
```
Since Postgres is configured, we can now initialize the database. There should
now be a file in `config/setup_db.psql` that makes this easier. Edit it, and
*change the password* to a password of your choice. Make sure it is secure, since
it'll be protecting your database. Now initialize the database:
```
$ sudo -Hu pgsql -g pgsql psql -f config/setup_db.psql
```
Postgres allows connections from all users without a password by default. To
fix this, edit `/usr/pkg/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf`. Change every `trust` to
`password`.
Once this is done, restart Postgres with `# /etc/rc.d/pgsql restart`.
Run the database migrations.
You will need to do this whenever you update with `git pull`:
```
$ MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
```
## Configuring nginx
Install the example configuration file
`/home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx` to
`/usr/pkg/etc/nginx.conf`.
Note that it will need to be wrapped in a `http {}` block. You should add
settings for the nginx daemon outside of the http block, for example:
```
user nginx nginx;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
worker_processes 4;
events {
}
```
Edit the defaults:
* Change `ssl_certificate` and `ssl_trusted_certificate` to
`/etc/nginx/tls/fullchain`.
* Change `ssl_certificate_key` to `/etc/nginx/tls/key`.
* Change `example.tld` to your instance's domain name.
## Configuring acme.sh
We'll be using acme.sh in Stateless Mode for TLS certificate renewal.
First, get your account fingerprint:
```
$ sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx acme.sh --register-account
```
You need to add the following to your nginx configuration for the server
running on port 80:
```
location ~ ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ {
default_type text/plain;
return 200 "$1.6fXAG9VyG0IahirPEU2ZerUtItW2DHzDzD9wZaEKpqd";
}
```
Replace the string after after `$1.` with your fingerprint.
Start nginx:
```
# /etc/rc.d/nginx start
```
It should now be possible to issue a cert (replace `example.com`
with your domain name):
```
$ sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx acme.sh --issue -d example.com --stateless
```
Let's add auto-renewal to `/etc/daily.local`
(replace `example.com` with your domain):
```
/usr/pkg/bin/sudo -Hu nginx -g nginx \
/usr/pkg/sbin/acme.sh -r \
-d example.com \
--cert-file /etc/nginx/tls/cert \
--key-file /etc/nginx/tls/key \
--ca-file /etc/nginx/tls/ca \
--fullchain-file /etc/nginx/tls/fullchain \
--stateless
```
## Creating a startup script for Pleroma
Copy the startup script to the correct location and make sure it's executable:
```
# cp /home/pleroma/pleroma/installation/netbsd/rc.d/pleroma /etc/rc.d/pleroma
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/pleroma
```
Add the following to `/etc/rc.conf`:
```
pleroma=YES
pleroma_home="/home/pleroma"
pleroma_user="pleroma"
```
Run `# /etc/rc.d/pleroma start` to start Pleroma.
## Conclusion
Restart nginx with `# /etc/rc.d/nginx restart` and you should be up and running.
If you need further help, contact niaa on freenode.
Make sure your time is in sync, or other instances will receive your posts with
incorrect timestamps. You should have ntpd running.

# Installing on OpenBSD
This guide describes the installation and configuration of pleroma (and the required software to run it) on a single OpenBSD 6.4 server.
For any additional information regarding commands and configuration files mentioned here, check the man pages [online](https://man.openbsd.org/) or directly on your server with the man command.
#### Required software
The following packages need to be installed:
* elixir
* gmake
* ImageMagick
* git
* postgresql-server
* postgresql-contrib
To install them, run the following command (with doas or as root):
`pkg_add elixir gmake ImageMagick git postgresql-server postgresql-contrib`
Pleroma requires a reverse proxy, OpenBSD has relayd in base (and is used in this guide) and packages/ports are available for nginx (www/nginx) and apache (www/apache-httpd). Independently of the reverse proxy, [acme-client(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client) can be used to get a certificate from Let's Encrypt.
#### Creating the pleroma user
Pleroma will be run by a dedicated user, \_pleroma. Before creating it, insert the following lines in login.conf:
```
pleroma:\
:datasize-max=1536M:\
:datasize-cur=1536M:\
:openfiles-max=4096
```
This creates a "pleroma" login class and sets higher values than default for datasize and openfiles (see [login.conf(5)](https://man.openbsd.org/login.conf)), this is required to avoid having pleroma crash some time after starting.
Create the \_pleroma user, assign it the pleroma login class and create its home directory (/home/\_pleroma/): `useradd -m -L pleroma _pleroma`
#### Clone pleroma's directory
Enter a shell as the \_pleroma user. As root, run `su _pleroma -;cd`. Then clone the repository with `git clone https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma.git`. Pleroma is now installed in /home/\_pleroma/pleroma/, it will be configured and started at the end of this guide.
#### Postgresql
Start a shell as the \_postgresql user (as root run `su _postgresql -` then run the `initdb` command to initialize postgresql:
If you wish to not use the default location for postgresql's data (/var/postgresql/data), add the following switch at the end of the command: `-D <path>` and modify the `datadir` variable in the /etc/rc.d/postgresql script.
When this is done, enable postgresql so that it starts on boot and start it. As root, run:
```
rcctl enable postgresql
rcctl start postgresql
```
To check that it started properly and didn't fail right after starting, you can run `ps aux | grep postgres`, there should be multiple lines of output.
#### httpd
httpd will have three fuctions:
* redirect requests trying to reach the instance over http to the https URL
* serve a robots.txt file
* get Let's Encrypt certificates, with acme-client
Insert the following config in httpd.conf:
```
# $OpenBSD: httpd.conf,v 1.17 2017/04/16 08:50:49 ajacoutot Exp $
ext_inet="<IPv4 address>"
ext_inet6="<IPv6 address>"
server "default" {
listen on $ext_inet port 80 # Comment to disable listening on IPv4
listen on $ext_inet6 port 80 # Comment to disable listening on IPv6
listen on 127.0.0.1 port 80 # Do NOT comment this line
log syslog
directory no index
location "/.well-known/acme-challenge/*" {
root "/acme"
request strip 2
}
location "/robots.txt" { root "/htdocs/local/" }
location "/*" { block return 302 "https://$HTTP_HOST$REQUEST_URI" }
}
types {
include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types"
}
```
Do not forget to change *\<IPv4/6 address\>* to your server's address(es). If httpd should only listen on one protocol family, comment one of the two first *listen* options.
Create the /var/www/htdocs/local/ folder and write the content of your robots.txt in /var/www/htdocs/local/robots.txt.
Check the configuration with `httpd -n`, if it is OK enable and start httpd (as root):
```
rcctl enable httpd
rcctl start httpd
```
#### acme-client
acme-client is used to get SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt.
Insert the following configuration in /etc/acme-client.conf:
```
#
# $OpenBSD: acme-client.conf,v 1.4 2017/03/22 11:14:14 benno Exp $
#
authority letsencrypt-<domain name> {
#agreement url "https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf"
api url "https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
account key "/etc/acme/letsencrypt-privkey-<domain name>.pem"
}
domain <domain name> {
domain key "/etc/ssl/private/<domain name>.key"
domain certificate "/etc/ssl/<domain name>.crt"
domain full chain certificate "/etc/ssl/<domain name>.fullchain.pem"
sign with letsencrypt-<domain name>
challengedir "/var/www/acme/"
}
```
Replace *\<domain name\>* by the domain name you'll use for your instance. As root, run `acme-client -n` to check the config, then `acme-client -ADv <domain name>` to create account and domain keys, and request a certificate for the first time.
Make acme-client run everyday by adding it in /etc/daily.local. As root, run the following command: `echo "acme-client <domain name>" >> /etc/daily.local`.
Relayd will look for certificates and keys based on the address it listens on (see next part), the easiest way to make them available to relayd is to create a link, as root run:
```
ln -s /etc/ssl/<domain name>.fullchain.pem /etc/ssl/<IP address>.crt
ln -s /etc/ssl/private/<domain name>.key /etc/ssl/private/<IP address>.key
```
This will have to be done for each IPv4 and IPv6 address relayd listens on.
#### relayd
relayd will be used as the reverse proxy sitting in front of pleroma.
Insert the following configuration in /etc/relayd.conf:
```
# $OpenBSD: relayd.conf,v 1.4 2018/03/23 09:55:06 claudio Exp $
ext_inet="<IPv4 address>"
ext_inet6="<IPv6 address>"
table <pleroma_server> { 127.0.0.1 }
table <httpd_server> { 127.0.0.1 }
http protocol plerup { # Protocol for upstream pleroma server
#tcp { nodelay, sack, socket buffer 65536, backlog 128 } # Uncomment and adjust as you see fit
tls ciphers "ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305"
tls ecdhe secp384r1
# Forward some paths to the local server (as pleroma won't respond to them as you might want)
pass request quick path "/robots.txt" forward to <httpd_server>
# Append a bunch of headers
match request header append "X-Forwarded-For" value "$REMOTE_ADDR" # This two header and the next one are not strictly required by pleroma but adding them won't hurt
match request header append "X-Forwarded-By" value "$SERVER_ADDR:$SERVER_PORT"
match response header append "X-XSS-Protection" value "1; mode=block"
match response header append "X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies" value "none"
match response header append "X-Frame-Options" value "DENY"
match response header append "X-Content-Type-Options" value "nosniff"
match response header append "Referrer-Policy" value "same-origin"
match response header append "X-Download-Options" value "noopen"
match response header append "Content-Security-Policy" value "default-src 'none'; base-uri 'self'; form-action 'self'; img-src 'self' data: https:; media-src 'self' https:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; font-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' wss://CHANGEME.tld; upgrade-insecure-requests;" # Modify "CHANGEME.tld" and set your instance's domain here
match request header append "Connection" value "upgrade"
#match response header append "Strict-Transport-Security" value "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" # Uncomment this only after you get HTTPS working.
# If you do not want remote frontends to be able to access your Pleroma backend server, comment these lines
match response header append "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value "*"
match response header append "Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value "POST, PUT, DELETE, GET, PATCH, OPTIONS"
match response header append "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value "Authorization, Content-Type, Idempotency-Key"
match response header append "Access-Control-Expose-Headers" value "Link, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-Request-Id"
# Stop commenting lines here
}
relay wwwtls {
listen on $ext_inet port https tls # Comment to disable listening on IPv4
listen on $ext_inet6 port https tls # Comment to disable listening on IPv6
protocol plerup
forward to <pleroma_server> port 4000 check http "/" code 200
forward to <httpd_server> port 80 check http "/robots.txt" code 200
}
```
Again, change *\<IPv4/6 address\>* to your server's address(es) and comment one of the two *listen* options if needed. Also change *wss://CHANGEME.tld* to *wss://\<your instance's domain name\>*.
Check the configuration with `relayd -n`, if it is OK enable and start relayd (as root):
```
rcctl enable relayd
rcctl start relayd
```
#### pf
Enabling and configuring pf is highly recommended.
In /etc/pf.conf, insert the following configuration:
```
# Macros
if="<network interface>"
authorized_ssh_clients="any"
# Skip traffic on loopback interface
set skip on lo
# Default behavior
set block-policy drop
block in log all
pass out quick
# Security features
match in all scrub (no-df random-id)
block in log from urpf-failed
# Rules
pass in quick on $if inet proto icmp to ($if) icmp-type { echoreq unreach paramprob trace } # ICMP
pass in quick on $if inet6 proto icmp6 to ($if) icmp6-type { echoreq unreach paramprob timex toobig } # ICMPv6
pass in quick on $if proto tcp to ($if) port { http https } # relayd/httpd
pass in quick on $if proto tcp from $authorized_ssh_clients to ($if) port ssh
```
Replace *\<network interface\>* by your server's network interface name (which you can get with ifconfig). Consider replacing the content of the authorized\_ssh\_clients macro by, for exemple, your home IP address, to avoid SSH connection attempts from bots.
Check pf's configuration by running `pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf`, load it with `pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf` and enable pf at boot with `rcctl enable pf`.
#### Configure and start pleroma
Enter a shell as \_pleroma (as root `su _pleroma -`) and enter pleroma's installation directory (`cd ~/pleroma/`).
Then follow the main installation guide:
* run `mix deps.get`
* run `mix pleroma.instance gen` and enter your instance's information when asked
* copy config/generated\_config.exs to config/prod.secret.exs. The default values should be sufficient but you should edit it and check that everything seems OK.
* exit your current shell back to a root one and run `psql -U postgres -f /home/_pleroma/config/setup_db.psql` to setup the database.
* return to a \_pleroma shell into pleroma's installation directory (`su _pleroma -;cd ~/pleroma`) and run `MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
As \_pleroma in /home/\_pleroma/pleroma, you can now run `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server` to start your instance.
In another SSH session/tmux window, check that it is working properly by running `ftp -MVo - http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/v1/instance`, you should get json output. Double-check that *uri*'s value is your instance's domain name.
##### Starting pleroma at boot
An rc script to automatically start pleroma at boot hasn't been written yet, it can be run in a tmux session (tmux is in base).

`$ mix generate_config`
`$ cp config/generated_config.exs config/prod.secret.exs`
Aja luodut tietokantakomennot:
`# su _postgres -c 'psql -f config/setup_db.psql'`
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
Käynnistä pleroma-prosessi:
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix compile`
`$ MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server`
Tässä vaiheessa on hyvä tarkistaa että asetukset ovat oikein. Avaa selaimella,
curlilla tai vastaavalla työkalulla `esimerkki.com:4000/api/v1/instance` ja katso
että kohta "uri" on "https://esimerkki.com".
Huom! Muista varmistaa että muuttuja MIX_ENV on "prod" mix-komentoja ajaessasi.
Mix lukee oikean konfiguraatiotiedoston sen mukaisesti.
Ohessa enimmäkseen toimivaksi todettu rc.d-skripti pleroman käynnistämiseen.
Kirjoita se tiedostoon /etc/rc.d/pleroma. Tämän jälkeen aja
`# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/pleroma`, ja voit käynnistää pleroman komennolla
`# /etc/rc.d/pleroma start`.
```
#!/bin/ksh
#/etc/rc.d/pleroma
daemon="cd /home/pleroma/pleroma;MIX_ENV=prod /usr/local/bin/elixir"
daemon_flags="--detached /usr/local/bin/mix phx.server"
daemon_user="pleroma"
rc_reload="NO"
rc_bg="YES"
pexp="beam"
. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
rc_cmd $1
```
Tämän jälkeen tarvitset enää HTTP-serverin välittämään kutsut pleroma-prosessille.
Tiedostosta `install/pleroma.nginx` löytyy esimerkkikonfiguraatio, ja TLS-sertifikaatit
saat ilmaiseksi esimerkiksi [letsencryptiltä](https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/opbsd-nginx.html).
Nginx asentuu yksinkertaisesti komennolla `# pkg_add nginx`.
Kun olet valmis, avaa https://esimerkki.com selaimessasi. Luo käyttäjä ja seuraa kiinnostavia

# Introduction to Pleroma
**What is Pleroma?**
Pleroma is a federated social networking platform, compatible with GNU social, Mastodon and other OStatus and ActivityPub implementations. It is free software licensed under the AGPLv3.
It actually consists of two components: a backend, named simply Pleroma, and a user-facing frontend, named Pleroma-FE. It also includes the Mastodon frontend, if that's your thing.
It's part of what we call the fediverse, a federated network of instances which speak common protocols and can communicate with each other.
One account on a instance is enough to talk to the entire fediverse!
**How can I use it?**
Pleroma instances are already widely deployed, a list can be found here:
http://distsn.org/pleroma-instances.html
If you don't feel like joining an existing instance, but instead prefer to deploy your own instance, that's easy too!
Installation instructions can be found here:
[main Pleroma wiki](/)
**I got an account, now what?**
Great! Now you can explore the fediverse!
- Open the login page for your Pleroma instance (for ex. https://pleroma.soykaf.com) and login with your username and password.
(If you don't have one yet, click on Register) :slightly_smiling_face:
At this point you will have two columns in front of you.
***left column***
- first block: here you can see your avatar, your nickname a bio, and statistics (Statuses, Following, Followers).
Under that you have a text form which allows you to post new statuses. The icon on the left is for uploading media files and attach them to your post. The number under the text form is a character counter, every instance can have a different character limit (the default is 5000).
If you want to mention someone, type @ + name of the person. A drop-down menu will help you in finding the right person. :slight_smile:
To post your status, simply press Submit.
- second block: Here you can switch between the different timelines:
- Timeline: all the people that you follow
- Mentions: all the statutes where you are mentioned
- Public Timeline: all the statutes from the local instance
- The Whole Known Network: everything, local and remote!
- third block: this is the Chat block, where you communicate with people on the same instance in realtime. It is local-only, for now, but we're planning to make it extendable to the entire fediverse! :sweat_smile:
- fourth block: This is the Notifications block, here you will get notified whenever somebody mentions you, follows you, repeats or favorites one of your statuses.
***right column***
This is where the interesting stuff happens! :slight_smile:
Depending on the timeline you will see different statuses, but each status has a standard structure:
- Icon + name + link to profile. An optional left-arrow if it's a reply to another status (hovering will reveal the replied-to status).
- A + button on the right allows you to Expand/Collapse an entire discussion thread. It also updates in realtime!
- A binocular icon allows you to open the status on the instance where it's originating from.
- The text of the status, including mentions. If you click on a mention, it will automatically open the profile page of that person.
- Four buttons (left to right): Reply, Repeat, Favorite, Delete.
**Mastodon interface**
If the Pleroma interface isn't your thing, or you're just trying something new but you want to keep using the familiar Mastodon interface, we got that too! :smile:
Just add a "/web" after your instance url (for ex. https://pleroma.soycaf.com/web) and you'll end on the Mastodon web interface, but with a Pleroma backend! MAGIC! :fireworks:
For more information on the Mastodon interface, please look here:
https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/User-guide.md
Remember, what you see is only the frontend part of Mastodon, the backend is still Pleroma.
