## 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>
