-### Obtaining Your Automatically Generated Admin Credentials
-Now that you've installed your PeerTube instance you'll want to grep your peertube container's logs for the `root` password.
-You're going to want to run `docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root` to search the log output for your new PeerTube's instance admin credentials which will look something like this.
-```BASH
-user@s:~/peertube|master⚡ ⇒ docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root
+
+You need to manually generate the first SSL/TLS certificate using Let's Encrypt:
+
+```shell
+mkdir -p docker-volume/certbot
+docker run -it --rm --name certbot -p 80:80 -v "$(pwd)/docker-volume/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt" certbot/certbot certonly --standalone
+```
+
+A dedicated container in the docker-compose will automatically renew this certificate and reload nginx.
+
+
+#### Test your setup
+
+_note_: Newer versions of compose are called with `docker compose` instead of `docker-compose`, so remove the dash in all steps that use this command if you are getting errors.
+
+Run your containers:
+
+```shell
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+#### Obtaining your automatically-generated admin credentials
+
+You can change the automatically created password for user root by running this command from peertube's root directory:
+```shell
+docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u root
+```
+
+You can also grep your peertube container's logs for the default `root` password. You're going to want to run `docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root` to search the log output for your new PeerTube's instance admin credentials which will look something like this.
+
+```bash
+$ docker-compose logs peertube | grep -A1 root
