Change the `GTS_HOST` environment variable to the domain you are running GoToSocial on.
### Server Timezone (optional but recommended)
To ensure that your GoToSocial server displays the correct time on posts and in logs, you can set the timezone of the server by editing the `TZ` environment variable.
1. Remove the `#` before `TZ: UTC` in the environment section.
2. Change the `UTC` part to your timezone identifier. For a list of these identifiers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
For example, if you are running your server in Minsk, you would set `TZ: Europe/Minsk`, Japan would be `TZ: Japan`, Dubai would be `TZ: Asia/Dubai`, etc.
If you don't set this, the default `UTC` will be used.
### User (optional / probably not necessary)
By default, Dockerized GoToSocial runs with Linux user/group `1000:1000`, which is fine in most cases. If you want to run as a different user/group, you should change the `user` field in the docker-compose.yaml accordingly.

# Available Go build tags, with explanation, followed by benefits of enabling it:
# - kvformat: enables prettier output of log fields (slightly better performance)
# - timetzdata: embed timezone database inside binary (allow setting local time inside Docker containers, at cost of 450KB)
# - notracing: disables compiling-in otel tracing support (reduced binary size, better performance)
# - noerrcaller: disables caller function prefix in errors (slightly better performance, at cost of err readability)
# - debug: enables /debug/pprof endpoint (adds debug, at performance cost)
