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 the smpt 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 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
