#### Creating the akkoma user
-Akkoma will be run by a dedicated user, \_akkoma. Before creating it, insert the following lines in login.conf:
+Akkoma will be run by a dedicated user, `_akkoma`. Before creating it, insert the following lines in `/etc/login.conf`:
```
akkoma:\
:datasize-max=1536M:\
:datasize-cur=1536M:\
:openfiles-max=4096
```
-This creates a "akkoma" 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 akkoma crash some time after starting.

#### Clone akkoma's directory
-Enter a shell as the \_akkoma user. As root, run `su _akkoma -;cd`. Then clone the repository with `git clone https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git`. Akkoma is now installed in /home/\_akkoma/akkoma/, 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:
-You will need to specify pgdata directory to the default (
/var/postgresql/data) with the `-D <path>` and set the user to postgres with the `-U <username>` flag. This can be done as follows:

+If you are not using the default directory, you will have to update 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:
```
* serve a robots.txt file
* get Let's Encrypt certificates, with acme-client
-Insert the following config in httpd.conf:
+Insert the following config in `/etc/httpd.conf`:
```
# $OpenBSD: httpd.conf,v 1.17 2017/04/16 08:50:49 ajacoutot Exp $
```
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.
+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
#### acme-client
acme-client is used to get SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt.
-Insert the following configuration in /etc/acme-client.conf:
+Insert the following configuration in `/etc/acme-client.conf`:
```
#
# $OpenBSD: acme-client.conf,v 1.4 2017/03/22 11:14:14 benno Exp $
}
```
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:
```
#### relayd
relayd will be used as the reverse proxy sitting in front of akkoma.

#### pf
Enabling and configuring pf is highly recommended.
-In /etc/pf.conf, insert the following configuration:
+In `/etc/pf.conf`, insert the following configuration:
```
# Macros
if="<network interface>"
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 akkoma
-Enter a shell as \_akkoma (as root `su _akkoma -`) and enter akkoma's installation directory (`cd ~/akkoma/`).
+Enter a shell as `_akkoma` (as root `su _akkoma -`) and enter akkoma's installation directory (`cd ~/akkoma/`).
Then follow the main installation guide:
* run `mix deps.get`
* run `MIX_ENV=prod 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.
+ * 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/_akkoma/akkoma/config/setup_db.psql` to setup the database.
- * return to a \_akkoma shell into akkoma's installation directory (`su _akkoma -;cd ~/akkoma`) and run `MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
+ * return to a `_akkoma` shell into akkoma's installation directory (`su _akkoma -;cd ~/akkoma`) and run `MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate`
-As \_akkoma in /home/\_akkoma/akkoma, you can now run `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server` to start your instance.
+As `_akkoma` in `/home/_akkoma/akkoma`, 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 akkoma at boot
An rc script to automatically start akkoma at boot hasn't been written yet, it can be run in a tmux session (tmux is in base).

#### Create administrative user
-If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following command as the \_akkoma user.
+If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following command as the `_akkoma` user.
