hey so i want to set up a mastodon instance.

who else is already doing this?

what kind of hardware are you using and how many users do you have?

what are the bottlenecks?

@dot_tiff ram, it won't build nor start with 512mb of ram, added a 512mb swap and it seems fine ($5 digitalocean vps)

@rabcyr good to know, are you just using the docker image?

how many users do you have?

@dot_tiff just me, and i've never used docker so no

@rabcyr ok, thanks for the heads up.

i'm a BSD person so i'm not into docker either, was just under the impression it was the "blessed" way to do it.

@dot_tiff i thought it might be easier, looked at instructions, was quite lost, then built an ubuntu server because it seemed to be what the guide was for
