How-to Install Mastodon:

Debian:

  • This will be a rapid and dirty Tutorial to gain the maximum afford.
  • I assume you use a fresh, not used System.
  • If we need to compile, we use ccache here to speed up due it might a 50/50 chance of a failure ;-)

    echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
    "deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list

Downloading Sources

INSTALLPATH=/opt/mastodon git clone https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon.git $INSTALLPATH

Setup Mastodon: User and Repository Cloning

FIXME

  •  
      INSTALLPATH=/opt/mastodon
      sudo adduser mastodon --home=$INSTALLPATH
      sudo adduser mastodon docker
      sudo usermod -g mastodon www-data
      sudo usermod -g www-data mastodon
      sudo chmod 755 $INSTALLPATH
      su - mastodon -c "cp $INSTALLPATH/.env.production.sample $INSTALLPATH/.env.production"
      su - mastodon -c "sed -i 's/\bBuild: \./#Build: ./gi' $INSTALLPATH/docker-compose.yml"
      

Setup Mastodon: .env.production

  • Short Info: You don't need edit the file, it will be overwritten by the next command.
  • Follow up the configuration Guide. You don't need to compile your own Stuff. REALLY NOT. Save the Time :-)
  • Thats why we removed the build lines above.
  • Trust me its a pain in the Backside and waste your time… ;-D
    •  docker-compose run --rm web bundle exec rake mastodon:setup 
  • OPTIONAL: Pre-Compile all Assets.
    •  docker-compose run --rm web rake assets:precompile 

Setup Mastodon: NGINX

  • We need to create and add some information for NGINX to use it
  • Hint: If you need to use a other Reverse-Proxy in front of it, its untested and my not work
    • INSTALLPATH=/opt/mastodon
      sudo mkdir /var/www/letsencrypt
      sudo cp $INSTALLPATH/dist/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/mastodon
      sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mastodon /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mastodon 

Setup Mastodon: systemd

  • We Link the service-files to auto-update them
    • sudo ln -s /home/mastodon/live/dist/mastodon-sidekiq.service /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-sidekiq.service
    • sudo ln -s /home/mastodon/live/dist/mastodon-streaming.service /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-streaming.service
    • sudo ln -s /home/mastodon/live/dist/mastodon-web.service /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-web.service </code>
  • We reload the systemd daemon
    •  sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now mastodon.service 
  • We Check if it was successfull:
    •  watch docker compose -f /opt/mastodon/docker-compose.yml ps
