Yeah! :metal: From a blank DigitalOcean VM to a functioning Mastodon server in 51 minutes, including retries and resizing the instance to 1GB RAM.
Two tweaks to make to the install process, so I'm gonna tear it down and start all over again, then document that. Progress! :tada:
@wogan @iamjasonclark @wakest @tobykurien @NyoSan FWIW I've found that mastodon wants around 1.6gb ram to stabilize.
@mykola I prefer round, square numbes myself :wink: But yeah, 2GB minimum was also my conclusion :thumbsup: @iamjasonclark @wakest @tobykurien @NyoSan
@wogan @mykola @iamjasonclark @wakest @NyoSan So I guess that rules out running #mastodon on a #raspberrypi then :sob:
@tobykurien @wogan @mykola @wakest
Perhaps there is some truth to that.
@iamjasonclark @wogan @wakest someone was just telling me the other day they were running it across 2Pi's (...a Tau? ;))
There's gonna be any number of ways to configure it.
@mykola @iamjasonclark @wakest Yeah that's doable, if you deploy two copies of the software and split where the services run.
@tobykurien Not necessarily -
I imagine there's ways to optimize it to fit into a lower-RAM environment, especially if you can do something creative with the image processing. But out of the box, no -
you're gonna want a proper server :wink: @mykola @iamjasonclark @wakest @NyoSan
