### 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](../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).

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.

### 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.
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"
```sh tab="Debian/Ubuntu"
# 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 reload nginx'
# 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"

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
# If everything worked the output should contain /etc/cron.daily/renew-pleroma-cert
