Managing robots.txt

{! backend/administration/CLI_tasks/general_cli_task_info.include !}

Generate a new robots.txt file and add it to the static directory

The robots.txt that ships by default is permissive. It allows well-behaved search engines to index all of your instance's URIs.

If you want to generate a restrictive robots.txt, you can run the following mix task. The generated robots.txt will be written in your instance static directory.

=== "OTP"

```sh
./bin/pleroma_ctl robots_txt disallow_all
```

=== "From Source"

```sh
mix pleroma.robots_txt disallow_all
```
