Administration guide
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?
|
|
|
|
## Turning into an admin
|
|
|
|
The following rake task:
|
|
|
|
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:make_admin USERNAME=alice
|
|
|
|
Would turn the local user "alice" into an admin.
|
|
|
|
## Administration web interface
|
|
|
|
A user that is designated as `admin = TRUE` in the database is able to access a suite of administration tools:
|
|
|
|
* View, edit, silence, or suspend users - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/accounts
|
|
* View PubSubHubbub subscriptions - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/pubsubhubbub
|
|
* View domain blocks - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/domain_blocks
|
|
* Sidekiq dashboard - https://yourmastodon.instance/sidekiq
|
|
* PGHero dashboard for PostgreSQL - https://yourmastodon.instance/pghero
|
|
* Edit site settings - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings
|
|
|
|
## Site settings
|
|
|
|
Your site settings are stored in the `settings` database table, and editable through the admin interface at https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings.
|
|
|
|
You are able to set the following settings:
|
|
|
|
- Site title
|
|
- Contact username
|
|
- Contact email
|
|
- Site description
|
|
- Site extended description
|
|
|
|
You may wish to use the extended description (shown at https://yourmastodon.instance/about/more ) to display content guidelines or a user agreement (see https://mastodon.social/about/more for an example).
|
|
|
|
## Confirming Users Manually
|
|
|
|
The following rake task:
|
|
|
|
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:confirm_email USER_EMAIL=alice@alice.com
|
|
|
|
Will confirm a user manually, in case they don't have access to their confirmation email for whatever reason.
