Setting up a Masotdon server on Debian is somewhat annoying, due to the node and (to a lesser extent) ruby-based implementation. Most guides involve downloading and installing a large number of sources outside of APT. I hoped to avoid that.
My running install uses the 3.2 branch of Mastodon atop Debian Unstable.
System work
- Via APT, install nodejs, redis-server, rake, rbenv, ruby-bundler, postgresql-contrib, libpq-dev, libprotobuf-dev, protobuf-compiler, libidn11-dev, and cmdtest ("yarn").
- You will now have a PostgreSQL instance running, if you didn't before.
- It will be listening to tcp/5432 on localhost only.
- Prep the database:
- echo "CREATE USER mastodon CREATEDB;" | sudo -u postgres psql
- Create mastodon user (salt to taste):
- sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos "Mastodon service account" mastodon
User work
Remaining work will be done as the mastodon user, in its home directory.
- git clone https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon.git ~/live
- cd live
- bundle config set --local deployment true
- bundle config set --local without development:test
- bundle install
- RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mastodon:setup
- Use the same PostgreSQL user name you created earlier.
- So far as I can tell, use a blank password.
