After installation, you can use `just run-tags gotosocial-add-user --extra-vars=username=<username> --extra-vars=password=<password> --extra-vars=email=<email>"`
to create your a user. Change `--tags=gotosocial-add-user` to `--tags=gotosocial-add-admin` to create an admin account.
## Advanced account domain configuration
The account domain is the second part of a user handle in the Fediverse. If your handle is @username@example.org, `example.org` is your account domain. By default GoToSocial will use `gotosocial_hostname` that you provide as account domain e.g. `social.example.org`. You might want to change this by setting `gotosocial_account_domain` if you want the domain on accounts to be `example.org` because it looks better or is just shorter/easier to remember.

## Usage
After [installing](../installing.md), you can visit at the URL specified in `gotosocial_hostname` and should see your instance.
Start to customize it at `social.example.org/admin`.
After [installing](../installing.md), you can:
- create an **administrator** user account with a command like this: `just run-tags gotosocial-add-admin --extra-vars=username=USERNAME_HERE --extra-vars=password=PASSWORD_HERE --extra-vars=email=EMAIL_HERE`
- create a **regular** (non-administrator) user account with a command like this: `just run-tags gotosocial-add-user --extra-vars=username=USERNAME_HERE --extra-vars=password=PASSWORD_HERE --extra-vars=email=EMAIL_HERE`
Then, you should be able to visit the URL specified in `gotosocial_hostname` and see your instance.
To customize your instance, go to the `/admin` page.
Use the [GtS CLI Tool](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/cli/) to do admin & maintenance tasks. E.g. use
```bash
docker exec -it mash-gotosocial /gotosocial/gotosocial admin account demote --username <username>
docker exec -it mash-gotosocial /gotosocial/gotosocial admin account demote --username USERNAME_HERE
```
to demote a user from admin to normal user.
