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/.

config :pleroma, :instance,
  static_dir: "instance/static/",

You can overwrite this value in your configuration to use a different static instance directory.

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.

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.

mix pleroma.robots_txt disallow_all

Small customizations

You can directly overwrite files in priv/static, but you can also useinstance/static.

Since priv is tracked by git, it is recommended to put panel.html or thumbnail.jpeg and more under the instance directory if you do not use your own pleroma git repository.

For example, instance/static/instance/panel.html

This is when static_dir is the default.

Thumbnail

Replace priv/static/instance/thumbnail.jpeg with your selfie or other neat picture. It will appear in Pleroma Instances.

Or put your file on instance/static/instance/thumbnail.jpeg when static_dir is default.

Instance-specific panel

instance-specific panel demo

To show the instance specific panel, set show_instance_panel to true in config/dev.secret.exs. You can modify its content by editing priv/static/instance/panel.html.

Or put your file on instance/static/instance/panel.html when static_dir is default.

Background

You can change the background of your Pleroma instance by uploading it to priv/static/static, and then changing "background" in config/dev.secret.exs accordingly.

Or put your file on instance/static/static/background.jpg when static_dir is default.

logo modification demo

If you want to give a brand to your instance, look no further. You can change the logo of your instance by uploading it to priv/static/static, and then changing logo in config/dev.secret.exs accordingly.

Or put your file on instance/static/static/logo.png when static_dir is default.

Terms of Service

Terms of Service will be shown to all users on the registration page. It's the best place where to write down the rules for your instance. You can modify the rules by changing priv/static/static/terms-of-service.html.

Or put your file on instance/static/static/terms-of-service.html when static_dir is default.
