## Setup
### Configuring PostgreSQL
RUM indexes are an alternative indexing scheme that is not included in PostgreSQL by default. You can read more about them on the [Configuration page](../configuration/cheatsheet.md#rum-indexing-for-full-text-search). They are completely optional and most of the time are not worth it, especially if you are running a single user instance (unless you absolutely need ordered search results).
-```sh tab="Alpine"
-apk add git build-base postgresql-dev
-git clone https://github.com/postgrespro/rum /tmp/rum
-cd /tmp/rum
-make USE_PGXS=1
-make USE_PGXS=1 install
-cd
-rm -r /tmp/rum
-```
-
-```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
-# Available only on Buster/19.04
-apt install postgresql-11-rum
-```
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ apk add git build-base postgresql-dev
+ git clone https://github.com/postgrespro/rum /tmp/rum
+ cd /tmp/rum
+ make USE_PGXS=1
+ make USE_PGXS=1 install
+ cd
+ rm -r /tmp/rum
+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ # Available only on Buster/19.04
+ apt install postgresql-11-rum
+ ```
#### (Optional) Performance configuration
It is encouraged to check [Optimizing your PostgreSQL performance](../configuration/postgresql.md) document, for tips on PostgreSQL tuning.
-```sh tab="Alpine"
-rc-service postgresql restart
-```
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ rc-service postgresql restart
+ ```
-```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
-systemctl restart postgresql
-```
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ systemctl restart postgresql
+ ```
If you are using PostgreSQL 12 or higher, add this to your Ecto database configuration
The location of nginx configs is dependent on the distro
-```sh tab="Alpine"
-cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/conf.d/pleroma.conf
-```
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/conf.d/pleroma.conf
+ ```
-```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
-cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.conf
-ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.conf
-```
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.conf
+ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.conf
+ ```
If your distro does not have either of those you can append `include /etc/nginx/pleroma.conf` to the end of the http section in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and
```sh
```
#### Start nginx
-```sh tab="Alpine"
-rc-service nginx start
-```
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ rc-service nginx start
+ ```
-```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
-systemctl start nginx
-```
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ systemctl start nginx
+ ```
At this point if you open your (sub)domain in a browser you should see a 502 error, that's because Pleroma is not started yet.
### Setting up a system service
-```sh tab="Alpine"
-# Copy the service into a proper directory
-cp /opt/pleroma/installation/init.d/pleroma /etc/init.d/pleroma
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ # Copy the service into a proper directory
+ cp /opt/pleroma/installation/init.d/pleroma /etc/init.d/pleroma
-# Start pleroma and enable it on boot
-rc-service pleroma start
-rc-update add pleroma
-```
+ # Start pleroma and enable it on boot
+ rc-service pleroma start
+ rc-update add pleroma
+ ```
-```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
-# Copy the service into a proper directory
-cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ # Copy the service into a proper directory
+ cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
-# Start pleroma and enable it on boot
-systemctl start pleroma
-systemctl enable pleroma
-```
+ # Start pleroma and enable it on boot
+ systemctl start pleroma
+ systemctl enable pleroma
+ ```
If everything worked, you should see Pleroma-FE when visiting your domain. If that didn't happen, try reviewing the installation steps, starting Pleroma in the foreground and seeing if there are any errrors.
nginx -t

-```sh tab="Alpine"
-# Restart nginx
