Good start to the long weekend, had a choc-caramel hot cross bun with maple syrup & a coffee for breakfast, while installing mastodon on a raspberry pi (not for serious use, just a handy computer to test things out on).
Later I need to grocery shop, since we totally forgot to do so on the way home yesterday.
Ah, that's a snag (why is it trying to install to /var/lib/gems):
mastodon@pi3:~/live$ gem install bundler
Fetching: bundler-1.14.6.gem (100%)
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /var/lib/gems
Progress made.
When installing the bundle gem, you need to edit the #! line to reflect the rbenv enabled ruby instance.
Next problem, uncaught exception in node-gyp:
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.4.0
gyp ERR! This is a bug in `node-gyp`.
gyp ERR! Try to update node-gyp and file an Issue if it does not help:
gyp ERR! <https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues>
Build failed with error code: 7
Resolved that issue with an: npm update node-gyp
and then re-running the yarn install.
Seem to now have most of the mastodon setup complete.
Current challenge is trying to get the letsencrypt client to give me a cert on an ipv6 only domain, without first having a working https server on the host (nginx obviously can't start in ssl mode without a cert, I can't get a cert 'cause letsencrypt wants to connect to the https server).
Fixed my issues with letsencrypt, now have valid certs (ended up creating a self-signed cert to get nginx running, then ran:
letsencrypt --nginx
which happily installed the cert.)
