Want to host your own #mastodon server?

@Ric shared this great guide that explains pretty much everything you need to get started (beware, rabbit hole ahead🤓)

#selfhost #opensource #fediverse #homelab

@flkbmr @Ric I'm always down to advocate for docker usage. Would probably be good to add a blue-green deployment step for upgrading! Zero downtime while upgrading 🙏

@quaff @Ric ah yes, a person of class and taste 🙌

I wonder how hungry this is in production, now that I'm planning to go through with this I might just slap #mastodon on my zimablade and make a #fediverse hub lol

@quaff @Ric

for anyone else crazy enough to think about hosting #mastodon via docker on a zimablade.

If you use the essentials (Mastodon + Puma streaming, Sidekiq, PostgreSQL, Redis, Traefik) it uses only around 2GB of RAM.

...and probably your next 36 weekends. Gosh, I love homelab as a hobby😂
