Well, I did it.

I'm now the proud owner of a single user #Mastodon instance. It's running as a #Docker container using LinuxServer.io's all-in-one image (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mastodon)

For bonus points I'm running it under #Dokku, which has meant some minor alterations to the init scripts, but means I've no need to worry about the Redis/Postges instances as they're all handled by Dokku.

At some point I'll push a repo with these alterations and some instructions.

@pieceofthepie how is the resource usage?
@splendidlemon at the moment it's barely made an impact on the overall load of the VPS. My main concern is bandwidth/storage space as those are the things I'm limited by.
@pieceofthepie how bad is storage inflation for a mostly idle instance?

@splendidlemon So far, having been running for ~22 hours I'm looking at 360MB of disk and 22MB of database.

I think the disk can be managed with some settings I need to look in to as it's mostly cache. That's with maybe 10 or so followed accounts an a couple of followers.
