Installation
post.lurk.org followed the mastodon install almost literally since it was one-to-one applicable on debian stretch. Quite boring really.
This means that mastodon runs as the user mastodon. All the mastodon files live in:
/home/mastodon/live/
Differences are:
- When running the interactive set up during install, the smtp address is set as localhost and the postfix relay takes care of the rest.
- Mastodon-web runs on port 3001 instead of 3000, the changes to this are reflected in the systemd service files and in the nginx virtualhost config
Maintenance
It's a beast that gobbles up all the ram. Something to take into account.
For now I've added the mastodon user to a cgroup TODO
Mastodon can be (re)started by:
systemctl stop mastodon-*.service systemctl start mastodon-web.service systemctl start mastodon-sidekiq.service systemctl start mastodon-streaming.service
