# Configuration
Basic Mobilizon configuration can be handled through the Admin panel in the UI.
Core mobilizon configuration must be managed into the `config/prod.secret.exs` file.
After performing changes to this file, you have to recompile the mobilizon app with:
```bash
MIX_ENV=prod mix compile
```
and then restart the Mobilizon service:
```
systemctl restart mobilizon
```

sudo mkdir /var/www/certbot
```
Run certbot with (don't forget to adapt the command)
```bash
sudo certbot certonly --rsa-key-size 4096 --webroot -w /var/www/certbot/ --email your@email.com --agree-tos --text --renew-hook "/usr/sbin/nginx -s reload" -d your-mobilizon-domain.com

Then adapt the nginx configuration `/etc/nginx/sites-available/mobilizon.conf` by uncommenting certificate paths and removing obsolete blocks.
Finish by testing the configuration with `sudo nginx -t` and reloading nginx with `systemctl reload nginx`.
You should now be able to load https://your-mobilizon-domain.com inside your browser.
## Creating your first user
Login back as the `mobilizon` system user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
```
Create a new user:
```
MIX_ENV=prod mix mobilizon.users.new "your@email.com" --admin --password "Y0urP4ssw0rd"
```
!!! danger
Don't forget to prefix the command with an empty space so that the chosen password isn't kept in your shell history.
!!! tip
You can ignore the `--password` option and Mobilizon will generate one for you.
See the [full documentation](./CLI tasks/manage_users.md#create-a-new-user) for this command.
You may now login with your credentials and discover Mobilizon. Feel free to explore [configuration documentation](./configure) as well.
