Somebody compiled some resources about setting up a new instance, right? Where was that again?

@xor Here's one by @ummjackson https://github.com/ummjackson/mastodon-guide

@xor i found a guide on medium that i used for mine: https://medium.com/@JungleStrike/deploying-a-mastodon-instance-on-centos-7-5073bd1ad265

@xor There's the official documentation for running in prod and tuning: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Production-guide.md

https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Tuning.md

The mastodon-admin mailing list archive has some useful content as well: https://lists.ffdn.org/wws/arc/mastodon-admin

I wrote a bit about instance security: https://mastodon.at/@pfigel/41293

@xor Ummm... If you're referring to the GitHub production guide, you can find it here https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Production-guide.md

@xor ;D https://github.com/dunn/ansible-mastodon

@xor nb the instance i set up doesn't entirely work

on account of its posts refuse to propagate thru the fediverse

@xor wait nevermind it works now

@xor but not on linode

Biographers will cite the above toot as the moment my life started to spiral out of control

@xor My memory may be wrong (I can't find it right now) but I _think_ @nolan had compiled some resources? Sorry if not.

@nolan @xor *it being the link, but memory also applies

@twitter @xor Yup, check this out: https://github.com/nolanlawson/resources-for-mastodon-newbies#readme

@nolan @xor I think we're looking for info on spinning up an instance, I could have sworn I saw something like that go by.

Thanks for putting this together, I'll make sure I bookmark it this time, heh. :)

@xor I'm running on heroku, got a blog post with some technical details: https://ashfurrow.com/blog/running-mastodon-on-heroku/ let me know if I can help 👍

@xor did you find one? my friend @catte just wrote an ansible playbook for getting it on centos https://github.com/dunn/ansible-mastodon
