The basic steps are:</p>\n\n<ol>\n <li>Publish DNS records pointing to your machine.</li>\n <li>As root, run <a href=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bluesky-social/pds/main/installer.sh\">install.sh</a>.</li>\n <li>Enter your email address and preferred handle.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>It wasn’t entirely obvious how to set your handle to be the same\nas the domain name when you have something else already published\non the domain such as your web server.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds/issues/103\">Issue #103</a> shows how this should be achieved.</p>\n\n<ol>\n <li>Publish the DNS record for <code>pds.yourdomain.com</code>.</li>\n <li>Use <code>pds.yourdomain.com</code> during setup.</li>\n <li>At the final stage where a handle is created, use <code>tmphandle.pds.yourdomain.com</code></li>\n <li>Change the change to your preferred handle via the Bluesky app.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Login using a custom server pds.yourdomain.com and the handle you created.</p>\n\n<p>Next go to Account > Handle and select ‘I have my own domain’. Enter\nthe domain name which should be the new handle that you want. In\nmy case, <code>mtelvers.tunbury.org</code>. Next, publish a DNS TXT record\nfor <code>_atproto.mtelvers.tunbury.org</code> and publish your did record\n<code>did=did:plc:5le6ofipuf6sdk6czluurgjc</code></p>\n\n<div><div><pre><code>Check service status : sudo systemctl status pds\nWatch service logs : sudo docker logs -f pds\nBackup service data : /pds\nPDS Admin command : pdsadmin\n\nTo see pdsadmin commands, run \"pdsadmin help\"\n</code></pre></div></div>",
