well if nothing else, mastodon's dev setup is pretty damn standard
got it running in 10~ish minutes
mastodon install instructions for rails devs
(preqs: git, postgres, ruby, bundler, npm)
git clone git@github.com:tootsuite/mastodon.git
cd mastodon
bundle install
npm install
psql postgres -c 'CREATE DATABASE mastodon_development;'
rake db:migrate
rails s
6 of the minutes were from me being away from hobby dev since rails 4
@cyrinsong You'll still need to run the cronjobs or federation will break.
@lambadalambda I was just looking for a simple instead to fix some frontend issues
(also me and cron have yet to get along)
@lambadalambda ah gah s/instead/install/
so the standard stuff really
