-cp secret.js.template secret.js

-This will create a new secret.js based on that template.
+***OPTIONAL***: You may want to edit secret.js and have jwtPrivateKey set to a randomly generated key, such as with /dev/urandom. This will allow session cookies to persist after server reboot.
 
-***IMPORTANT***: Open secret.js with your favourite editor, and set the jwtPrivateKey variable to a random string of characters, preferably generated from /dev/urandom or using node's own generation thing.
+If you don't set one yourself, a private key will be randomly generated each time the server starts.
 
 
 ***NOTE***: You can edit config.js to tweak some of the settings. You might wanna do that, especially if you are planning to run it on a domain. (setting the address variable)
