# Configuration
You can customize Pingvin Share by going to the configuration page in your admin dashboard `/admin/config`.
## General configuration
## General
There are plenty of settings you can adjust to your needs. Pingvin Share can be configured in two ways:
The **General** Tab will let you customize your Pingvin Share instance to your liking.
### UI
### App name
You can change the settings in the UI (`/admin/config`)
To change the name of your instance, insert any text into `App name`.
### YAML file
### App URL
You can set the configuration via a YAML file. If you choose this way, you won't be able to change the settings in the UI.
To make your App available trough your own **domain**, insert your specific domain and also subdomain if needed. Add an `https://` if you have an SSL certificate installed. If this is not the case, use `http://`.
If you use Docker you can create a `config.yml` file based on the [`config.example.yaml`](https://github.com/stonith404/pingvin-share/blob/main/config.yaml) and mount it to `/opt/app/config.yaml` in the container.
### Show home page
If you don't like the **home page** Pingvin Share provides and you just want the upload tab to be the main page, toggle this to `true`.
### Logo
Not only you can change your instances name, but also the logo it shows everywhere. To do that, upload an image as `png` with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
If you run Pingvin Share without Docker, you can create a `config.yml` file based on the [`config.example.yaml`](https://github.com/stonith404/pingvin-share/blob/main/config.yaml) in the root directory of the project.
