+# How to use a different domain name for Pleroma and the users it serves
+
+Pleroma users are primarily identified by a `user@example.org` handle, and you might want this identifier to be the same as your email or jabber account, for instance.
+However, in this case, you are almost certainly serving some web content on `https://example.org` already, and you might want to use another domain (say `pleroma.example.org`) for Pleroma itself.
+
+Pleroma supports that, but it might be tricky to set up, and any error might prevent you from federating with other instances.
+
+*If you are already running Pleroma on `example.org`, it is no longer possible to move it to `pleroma.example.org`.*
+
+## Account identifiers
+
+It is important to understand that for federation purposes, a user in Pleroma has two unique identifiers associated:
+
+- A webfinger `acct:` URI, used for discovery and as a verifiable global name for the user across Pleroma instances. In our example, our account's acct: URI is `acct:user@example.org`
+- An author/actor URI, used in every other aspect of federation. This is the way in which users are identified in ActivityPub, the underlying protocol used for federation with other Pleroma instances.
+In our case, it is `https://pleroma.example.org/users/user`.
+
+Both account identifiers are unique and required for Pleroma. An important risk if you set up your Pleroma instance incorrectly is to create two users (with different acct: URIs) with conflicting author/actor URIs.
+
+## WebFinger
+
+As said earlier, each Pleroma user has an `acct`: URI, which is used for discovery and authentication. When you add @user@example.org, a webfinger query is performed. This is done in two steps:
+
+1. Querying `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta` (where the domain of the URL matches the domain part of the `acct`: URI) to get information on how to perform the query.
+This file will indeed contain a URL template of the form `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource={uri}` that will be used in the second step.
+2. Fill the returned template with the `acct`: URI to be queried and perform the query: `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:user@example.org`
+
+## Configuring your Pleroma instance
+
+**_DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFIGURE YOUR INSTANCE THIS WAY IF YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE_**
+
+### Configuring Pleroma
+
+Pleroma has a two configuration settings to enable using different domains for your users and Pleroma itself. `host` in `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint` and `domain` in `Pleroma.Web.WebFinger`. When the latter is not set, it defaults to the value of `host`.
+
+*Be extra careful when configuring your Pleroma instance, as changing `host` may cause remote instances to register different accounts with the same author/actor URI, which will result in federation issues!*
+
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint,
+ url: [host: "pleroma.example.org"]
+
+config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.WebFinger, domain: "example.org"
+```
+
+- `domain` - is the domain for which your Pleroma instance has authority, it's the domain used in `acct:` URI. In our example, `domain` would be set to `example.org`. This is used in WebFinger account ids, which are the canonical account identifier in some other fediverse software like Mastodon. **If you change `domain`, the accounts on your server will be shown as different accounts in those software**.
+- `host` - is the domain used for any URL generated for your instance, including the author/actor URL's. In our case, that would be `pleroma.example.org`. This is used in AP ids, which are the canonical account identifier in Pleroma and some other fediverse software. **You should not change this after you have set up the instance**.
+
+### Configuring WebFinger domain
+
+Now, you have Pleroma running at `https://pleroma.example.org` as well as a website at `https://example.org`. If you recall how webfinger queries work, the first step is to query `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta`, which will contain an URL template.
+
+Therefore, the easiest way to configure `example.org` is to redirect `/.well-known/host-meta` to `pleroma.example.org`.
+
+With nginx, it would be as simple as adding:
+
+```nginx
+location = /.well-known/host-meta {
+ return 301 https://pleroma.example.org$request_uri;
+}
+```
+
+in example.org's server block.

+Once you have the new search config , make sure you test it with the `pleroma` user in PostgreSQL (change `YOUR.CONFIG` to your real configuration name)
+```
+SELECT ts_debug('YOUR.CONFIG', '安装和配置Nginx, ElixirとErlangをインストールします');
+```
+Check output of the query, and see if it matches your expectation.
+
+
+## Update text search config and index in database
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl database set_text_search_config YOUR.CONFIG
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.database set_text_search_config YOUR.CONFIG
+ ```
+
+Note: index update may take a while, and it can be done while the instance is up and running, so you may restart db connection as soon as you see `Recreate index` in task output.
+
+## Restart database connection
+Since some changes above will only apply with a new database connection, you will have to restart either Pleroma or PostgreSQL process, or use `pg_terminate_backend` SQL command without restarting either.
+
+Now the search results of statuses should be much more friendly for your language of choice, the results for searching users and tags were not changed, as the default parsing/matching should work for most cases.

+### MRF policies descriptions
+
+If MRF policy depends on config, it can be added into MRF tab to adminFE by adding `config_description/0` method, which returns a map with a specific structure. See existing MRF's like `lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/activity_expiration_policy.ex` for examples. Note that more complex inputs, like tuples or maps, may need extra changes in the adminFE and just adding it to `config_description/0` may not be enough to get these inputs working from the adminFE.

-# Optimizing your PostgreSQL performance
+# Optimizing PostgreSQL performance
-Pleroma performance depends to a large extent on good database performance. The default PostgreSQL settings are mostly fine, but often you can get better performance by changing a few settings.
+Pleroma performance is largely dependent on performance of the underlying database. Better performance can be achieved by adjusting a few settings.
-You can use [PGTune](https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua) to get recommendations for your setup. If you do, set the "Number of Connections" field to 20, as Pleroma will only use 10 concurrent connections anyway. If you don't, it will give you advice that might even hurt your performance.
+## PGTune
-We also recommend not using the "Network Storage" option.
+[PgTune](https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua) can be used to get recommended settings. Be sure to set "Number of Connections" to 20, otherwise it might produce settings hurtful to database performance. It is also recommended to not use "Network Storage" option.
+
+## Disable generic query plans
+
+When PostgreSQL receives a query, it decides on a strategy for searching the requested data, this is called a query plan. The query planner has two modes: generic and custom. Generic makes a plan for all queries of the same shape, ignoring the parameters, which is then cached and reused. Custom, on the contrary, generates a unique query plan based on query parameters.
+
+By default PostgreSQL has an algorithm to decide which mode is more efficient for particular query, however this algorithm has been observed to be wrong on some of the queries Pleroma sends, leading to serious performance loss. Therefore, it is recommended to disable generic mode.
+
+
+Pleroma already avoids generic query plans by default, however the method it uses is not the most efficient because it needs to be compatible with all supported PostgreSQL versions. For PostgreSQL 12 and higher additional performance can be gained by adding the following to Pleroma configuration:
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, Pleroma.Repo,
+ prepare: :named,
+ parameters: [
+ plan_cache_mode: "force_custom_plan"
+ ]
+```
