Administration guide
So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?
Turning into an admin
The following rake task:
rake 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 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).
