# Pleroma # Pleroma
## About Pleroma
Pleroma is an OStatus-compatible social networking server written in Elixir, compatible with GNU Social and Mastodon. It is high-performance and can run on small devices like a Raspberry Pi.
No release has been made yet, but several servers have been online for months already. If you want to run your own server, feel free to contact us at @lain@pleroma.soykaf.com or in our dev chat at https://matrix.heldscal.la/#/room/#pleromafe:matrix.heldscal.la.

### Database setup ### Database setup
* You'll need to allow password-based authorisation for `postgres` superuser * Create a database user and database for pleroma
* Changing default password for superuser is probably a good idea:
* Open psql shell as postgres user - while being root run `su postgres -c psql`
* There, enter following:
```sql
ALTER USER postgres with encrypted password '<PASSWORD>';
```
where `<PASSWORD>` is any string, no need to manually encrypt it - postgres will encrypt it automatically for you.
* Replace password in file `config/dev.exs` with password you supplied in previous step (look for line like `password: "postgres"`)
* Edit `/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/pg_hba.conf` (Assuming you have the 9.6 version) and change the line:
```
local all postgres peer
```
to
```
local all postgres md5
```
don't forget to revert it in the later step so you won't have to enter password when accessing psql console.
* Create and update your database with `mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate`. If it gives errors, try running again, this is a known issue.
* Undo changes you made in `/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/pg_hba.conf` (replace `md5` with `peer`)
* You most likely don't want having some application accessing database as a superuser, so you should create separate user for Pleroma. Right now it must be done manually (issue #27).
