### Detecting flavour
### Installing the required packages
Other than things bundled in the OTP release Pleroma depends on:
+
* curl (to download the release build)
* unzip (needed to unpack release builds)
* ncurses (ERTS won't run without it)
* nginx (could be swapped with another reverse proxy but this guide covers only it)
* certbot (for Let's Encrypt certificates, could be swapped with another ACME client, but this guide covers only it)
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-```sh
-apt install curl unzip libncurses5 postgresql postgresql-contrib nginx certbot
-```
-Alpine:
-
-**Warning:** There has been some changes to musl on Alpine 3.10 which need an Elixir rebuild. Since the build machines are running Alpine 3.9 running the builds on 3.10 will likely fail with "dlsym: Resource temporarily unavailable". If you have not updated yet, replace `latest-stable` with `v3.9` in `/etc/apk/repositories`. If you have, try downgrading `musl` to `1.1.20-r3`
-```sh
-echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.9/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
-apk update
-apk add curl unzip ncurses postgresql postgresql-contrib nginx certbot
-```
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
+ apk update
+ apk add curl unzip ncurses postgresql postgresql-contrib nginx certbot
+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ apt install curl unzip libncurses5 postgresql postgresql-contrib nginx certbot
+ ```
+
+### Installing optional packages
+
+Per [`docs/installation/optional/media_graphics_packages.md`](docs/installation/optional/media_graphics_packages.md):
+ * ImageMagick
+ * ffmpeg
+ * exiftool
+
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
+ apk update
+ apk add imagemagick ffmpeg exiftool
+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ apt install imagemagick ffmpeg libimage-exiftool-perl
+ ```
## Setup
### Configuring PostgreSQL
#### (Optional) Installing RUM indexes
-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](config.html#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).
-Debian/Ubuntu (available only on Buster/19.04):
-```sh
-apt install postgresql-11-rum
-```
-Alpine:
-```sh
-apk add gcc make git postgresql-dev musl-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
-```
+!!! warning
+ It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.
+

+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ # Available only on Buster/19.04
+ apt install postgresql-11-rum
+ ```
+
#### (Optional) Performance configuration
-For optimal performance, you may use [PGTune](https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua), don't forget to restart postgresql after editing the configuration
+It is encouraged to check [Optimizing your PostgreSQL performance](../configuration/postgresql.md) document, for tips on PostgreSQL tuning.
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-```sh
-systemctl restart postgresql
-```
-Alpine:
-```sh
-rc-service postgresql restart
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ rc-service postgresql restart
+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ systemctl restart postgresql
+ ```
+
+If you are using PostgreSQL 12 or higher, add this to your Ecto database configuration
+
+```elixir
+prepare: :named,
+parameters: [
+ plan_cache_mode: "force_custom_plan"
+]
```
+
### Installing Pleroma
```sh
-# Create the Pleroma user
+# Create a Pleroma user
adduser --system --shell /bin/false --home /opt/pleroma pleroma
-# Set the flavour environment variable to the string you got in Detecting flavour section.
-# For example if the flavour is `arm64-musl` the command will be
-export FLAVOUR="arm64-musl"
+# Set the flavour environment variable to the string you got in Detecting flavour section.
+# For example if the flavour is `amd64-musl` the command will be
+export FLAVOUR="amd64-musl"
# Clone the release build into a temporary directory and unpack it
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "
-curl 'https://git.pleroma.social/api/v4/projects/2/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=$FLAVOUR' -o /tmp/pleroma.zip

### Setting up a system service
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-```sh
-# 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
-```
-Alpine:
-```sh
-# 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
+ ```
+
+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ # Copy the service into a proper directory
+ cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
-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.
+ # Start pleroma and enable it on boot
+ systemctl start pleroma
+ systemctl enable pleroma
+ ```

## Post installation
-### Setting up auto-renew Let's Encrypt certificate
+### Setting up auto-renew of the Let's Encrypt certificate
```sh
# Create the directory for webroot challenges
mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt
# Verify that the config is valid
nginx -t
```
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-```sh
-# Restart nginx
-systemctl restart nginx
-# Ensure the webroot menthod and post hook is working
-certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook 'systemctl nginx reload'
+=== "Alpine"
+ ```
+ # Restart nginx
+ rc-service nginx restart
-# Add it to the daily cron
-echo '#!/bin/sh
-certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook "systemctl reload nginx"
-' > /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
-chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
+ # Start the cron daemon and make it start on boot
+ rc-service crond start
+ rc-update add crond
-# If everything worked the output should contain /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
-run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily
-```
-Alpine:
-```sh
-# Restart nginx
-rc-service nginx restart
+ # Ensure the webroot menthod and post hook is working
+ certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook 'rc-service nginx reload'
-# Start the cron daemon and make it start on boot
-rc-service crond start
-rc-update add crond
+ # Add it to the daily cron
+ echo '#!/bin/sh
+ certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --post-hook "rc-service nginx reload"
+ ' > /etc/periodic/daily/renew-pleroma-cert
+ chmod +x /etc/periodic/daily/renew-pleroma-cert
-# Ensure the webroot menthod and post hook is working
-certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook 'rc-service nginx reload'
+ # If everything worked the output should contain /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
+ run-parts --test /etc/periodic/daily
+ ```
-# Add it to the daily cron
-echo '#!/bin/sh
-certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook "rc-service nginx reload"
-' > /etc/periodic/daily/renew-pleroma-cert

+=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
+ ```
+ # Restart nginx
+ systemctl restart nginx
-# If everything worked this should output /etc/periodic/daily/renew-pleroma-cert
-run-parts --test /etc/periodic/daily
-```
-### Running mix tasks
-Throughout the wiki and guides there is a lot of references to mix tasks. Since `mix` is a build tool, you can't just call `mix pleroma.task`, instead you should call `pleroma_ctl` stripping pleroma/ecto namespace.
+ # Ensure the webroot menthod and post hook is working
+ certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --dry-run --post-hook 'systemctl reload nginx'
-So for example, if the task is `mix pleroma.user set admin --admin`, you should run it like this:
-```sh
-su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl user set admin --admin"
-```
-### Updating
-Generally, doing the following is enough:
-```sh
-# Download the new release
-su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"
+ # Add it to the daily cron
+ echo '#!/bin/sh
+ certbot renew --cert-name yourinstance.tld --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ --post-hook "systemctl reload nginx"
+ ' > /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
+ chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
-# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
-su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"
+ # If everything worked the output should contain /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
+ run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily
+ ```
+
+## Create your first user and set as admin
+```sh
+cd /opt/pleroma/bin
+su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl user new joeuser joeuser@sld.tld --admin"
```
-But you should **always check the release notes/changelog** in case there are config deprecations, special update steps, etc.
+This will create an account withe the username of 'joeuser' with the email address of joeuser@sld.tld, and set that user's account as an admin. This will result in a link that you can paste into the browser, which logs you in and enables you to set the password.
