## Becoming an operator
Many administrative actions on an IRC server are performed "in-band" as IRC commands sent from a client. The client in question must be an IRC operator ("oper", "ircop"). The easiest way to become an operator on your new Oragono instance is first to pick a strong, secure password, then "hash" it using the `oragono genpasswd` command (run `oragono genpasswd` from the command line, then enter your password twice), then copy the resulting hash into the `opers` section of your `ircd.yaml` file. Then you can become an operator by issuing the IRC command: `/oper admin mysecretpassword`.
## Productionizing
The recommended way to operate oragono as a service on Linux is via systemd. This provides a standard interface for starting, stopping, and rehashing (via `systemctl reload`) the service. It also captures oragono's loglines (sent to stderr in the default configuration) and writes them to the system journal.
