## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating an Account
|
||||
|
||||
By default, email verification is disabled.
|
||||
However, when you sign up for an account on your Stoat instance, you are still required to submit an email address and will see a prompt to "Check your mail!" for a verification email. You can simply return to the login page and log in using the email address and password you just set.
|
||||
|
||||
### Placing Behind Another Reverse-Proxy or Another Port
|
||||
|
||||
During configuration using `generate_config.sh` you will be asked if you'd like to place Stoat behind another reverse proxy. Enter `y` to configure for reverse proxy. This will expose your caddy on port 8880, and you can reverse proxy to <http://localhost:8880>
