Mastodawn

@rogue_cells I would recommend @gotosocial over Mastodon for self-hosting. It's much easier to manage. When I was evaluating what Fedi service I wanted to self host, Mastodon seemed like too much of a headache, and GTS, even in its alpha state (which it was back then), made running inside containers super easy.

#GoToSocial just works in a simple docker. No fuss, easy to set up, just a share to keep files and db for easy backup and replacing the server image. An nginx reverse proxy and letsencrypt complete it.

@zipkid @rogue_cells @gotosocial Yep, although with S3 and postgres, you don't even need to give it a volume. I miiiight run it in my kubernetes cluster that way.

To keep things simple i also run it in podman, no need for a dragon like k8s. Not even a docker daemon.

@zipkid @rogue_cells @gotosocial My single node "cluster" is still my favourite way of managing containers, especially with all the nice operators out there, but I'm also very experienced with k8s and don't consider it a dragon, especially not when using something like k3s to setup a single node cluster.

Often people just want to run a single service with as little fuss as possible, not set up a home datacenter for many and try to be full-time sysadmins.
