Improve static_dir documentation
* It was still written for From Source installs. Now it's both OTP and From Source
* I linked to the cheatsheet where it was about configuration
* I moved the mix tasks of the robot.txt section to the CLI tasks and linked to it
* i checked the code at https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/blob/develop/lib/mix/tasks/pleroma/robotstxt.ex and it doesn't seem to more than just this one command with this option
* I also added the location of robot.txt and an example to dissallow everything, but allow the fediverse.network crawlers
* The Thumbnail section still linked to distsn.org which doesn't exist any more. I changed it to a general statemant that it can be used by external applications. (I don't know any that actually use it.)
* Both the logo and TOS need an extra `static` folder. I've seen confusion about that in #pleroma so I added an Important note.

# Managing robot.txt

## Generate a new robot.txt file and add it to the static directory
|
||||
|
||||
The `robots.txt` that ships by default is permissive. It allows well-behaved search engines to index all of your instance's URIs.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to generate a restrictive `robots.txt`, you can run the following mix task. The generated `robots.txt` will be written in your instance [static directory](../../../configuration/static_dir/).
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir tab="OTP"
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl robots_txt disallow_all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir tab="From Source"
|
||||
mix pleroma.robots_txt disallow_all

# Static Directory
|
||||
|
||||
Static frontend files are shipped in `priv/static/` and tracked by version control in this repository. If you want to overwrite or update these without the possibility of merge conflicts, you can write your custom versions to `instance/static/`.
|
||||
Static frontend files are shipped with pleroma. If you want to overwrite or update these without problems during upgrades, you can write your custom versions to the static directory.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the location of the static directory in the [configuration](../cheatsheet/#instance).
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir tab="OTP"
|
||||
config :pleroma, :instance,
|
||||
static_dir: "/var/lib/pleroma/static/",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir tab="From Source"
|
||||
config :pleroma, :instance,
|
||||
static_dir: "instance/static/",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, edit `instance/static/instance/panel.html` .
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can overwrite this value in your configuration to use a different static instance directory.
|
||||
|
||||
This document is written assuming `instance/static/`.
|
||||
This document is written using `$static_dir` as the value of the `config :pleroma, :instance, static_dir` setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Or, if you want to manage your custom file in git repository, basically remove the `instance/` entry from `.gitignore`.
|
||||
If you use a From Source installation and want to manage your custom files in the git repository, you can remove the `instance/` entry from `.gitignore`.
|

|
||||
## robots.txt
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the `robots.txt` that ships in `priv/static/` is permissive. It allows well-behaved search engines to index all of your instance's URIs.
|
||||
There's a mix tasks to [generate a new robot.txt](../../administration/CLI_tasks/robots_txt/).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to generate a restrictive `robots.txt`, you can run the following mix task. The generated `robots.txt` will be written in your instance static directory.
|
||||
For more complex things, you can write your own robots.txt to `$static_dir/robots.txt`.
|
||||
|
||||
E.g. if you want to block all crawerls except for [fediverse.newtork](https://fediverse.network/about) you can use
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mix pleroma.robots_txt disallow_all
|
||||
User-Agent: *
|
||||
Disallow: /
|
||||
|
||||
User-Agent: crawler-us-il-1.fediverse.network
|
||||
Allow: /
|
||||
|
||||
User-Agent: makhnovtchina.random.sh
|
||||
Allow: /

||||
```

## Thumbnail
|
||||
|
||||
Put on `instance/static/instance/thumbnail.jpeg` with your selfie or other neat picture. It will appear in [Pleroma Instances](http://distsn.org/pleroma-instances.html).
|
||||
Add `$static_dir/instance/thumbnail.jpeg` with your selfie or other neat picture. It will be available on `http://your-domain.tld/instance/thumbnail.jpeg` and can be used by external applications.
