In the world of social media, Mastodon stands out because it’s all about people having control and being part of a community. It’s not like Twitter, which is really popular but has some problems like keeping your data private and not being clear about how its rules work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mastodon is different. It’s like a friendly neighborhood where everyone helps make the rules. On Twitter, special computer rules decide which posts you see first, which can make you only see similar things and never have a real conversation. But on Mastodon, you see posts in the order they were made, which makes it open and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s more, on Mastodon, you can even make your own neighborhood and have your own rules. You and your neighbors decide what’s okay and what’s not. This makes Mastodon a unique and user-friendly social place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Benefits of Hosting Your Own Instance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to Mastodon, you have choices: join an existing group or start your own. Let’s break it down. Joining an existing group is like moving into a ready-made neighborhood; you’re part of a community right away. But you can’t customize much. On the other hand, having your own group has lots of benefits. You’re the boss; you can make it look and work as you like. You decide the rules, creating a cozy place for you and your friends. Your data is yours, so privacy is no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.vavensoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/mastodon-1-1024x524.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCreating Your Own Mastodon Server <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you start your own Mastodon community, remember a few things. You’ll need a server or instance. Also, you must have a proper domain. You can get a domain from any domain provider, and they offer different servers, too. The server you choose depends on how many people will use your Mastodon and how active it is. If you want more options, they have different server configurations too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pre-requisites<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- A computer running Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11, where you have full administrative access (root access).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a domain name (or subdomain) for your Mastodon server, for example, example.com.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- An email delivery service or another SMTP server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Creating a mastodon System User and granting it administrative privileges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To begin, go to the root and create your Mastodon user using the ‘adduser’ command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nadduser mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nFollowing that, add your Mastodon user to the sudo group to provide it with administrative privileges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
usermod -aG sudo mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting Up Mastodon: Installing Dependencies and Cloning the Repository<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore proceeding, ensure that you have installed curl, wget, GnuPG, apt-transport-https, lsb-release, and ca-certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt install -y curl wget gnupg apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNode.js<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_16.x | bash -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ninstall Node.js 16.x and npm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt-get install -y nodejs<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou might also require development tools for creating native add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt-get install gcc g++ make<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo install the Yarn package manager, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -sL https:\/\/dl.yarnpkg.com\/debian\/pubkey.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee \/usr\/share\/keyrings\/yarnkey.gpg >\/dev\/null<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho \"deb [signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/yarnkey.gpg] https:\/\/dl.yarnpkg.com\/debian stable main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/yarn.list<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\napt-get update\napt-get install yarn<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nwget -O \/usr\/share\/keyrings\/postgresql.asc https:\/\/www.postgresql.org\/media\/keys\/ACCC4CF8.asc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho \"deb [signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/postgresql.asc] http:\/\/apt.postgresql.org\/pub\/repos\/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main\" > \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/postgresql.list<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall System packages<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\napt update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\napt install -y \\\n imagemagick ffmpeg libpq-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev file git-core \\\n g++ libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler pkg-config nodejs gcc autoconf \\\n bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev \\\n zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev \\\n nginx redis-server redis-tools postgresql postgresql-contrib \\\n certbot python3-certbot-nginx libidn11-dev libicu-dev libjemalloc-dev<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo use yarn, activate Node.js’s corepack, which is included by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
corepack enable<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYarn has two distinct development paths, one being version 1.0 (known as classic), and the other being version 2.0. Mastodon specifically needs the classic version of yarn. You can enable this classic version using the command: “yarn set version”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yarn set version classic<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstalling Ruby<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo make managing Ruby versions simpler and more efficient, we’ll use rbenv. With rbenv, it’s easier to obtain the correct Ruby versions and update them when new releases become available. However, it’s important to note that rbenv must be installed for a specific Linux user. Therefore, the first step is to create the user that Mastodon will run as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
switch to mastodon user<\/p>\n\n\n\n
su - mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/rbenv\/rbenv.git ~\/.rbenv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ncd ~\/.rbenv\nsrc\/configure \nmake -C src<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho 'export PATH=\"$HOME\/.rbenv\/bin:$PATH\"' >> ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho 'eval \"$(rbenv init -)\"' >> ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nexec bash<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/rbenv\/ruby-build.git ~\/.rbenv\/plugins\/ruby-build<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nRUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.2.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo set this Ruby version as the new default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rbenv global 3.2.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngem install bundler --no-document<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf you find the new version of Gem use this command to install <\/p>\n\n\n\n
gem update --system 3.4.20<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting up PostgreSQL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You should create a PostgreSQL user for Mastodon. In a basic setup, the simplest approach is to use “ident” authentication. This means that the PostgreSQL user doesn’t have a separate password and can be accessed by the Linux user with the same username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo -u postgres createuser --interactive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nOutput\nEnter name of role to add: mastodon<\/strong>\nShall the new role be a superuser? (y\/n) y<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting up Mastodon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To obtain the latest stable release of Mastodon, use Git to download the code.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\ncd \/home\/mastodon\/ <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/mastodon\/mastodon.git live\ncd live<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit checkout $(git tag -l | grep '^v[0-9.]*$' | sort -V | tail -n 1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstalling the last dependencies<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\nbundle config deployment 'true'\nbundle config without 'development test'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nbundle install -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nyarn install --pure-lockfile<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\nThe two “bundle config” commands are necessary only during the initial dependency installation. If you plan to update or reinstall dependencies at a later time, you can simply use “bundle install.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Run the interactive setup of Mastodon<\/h3>\n\n\n\nRAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mastodon:setup<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPlease enter your domain name. make sure your input is accurate because changing it later can be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mastodon offers a single-user mode where registrations are disabled. If your goal is to create a shared space with others, it’s important not to enable the single-user mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your instance is identified by its domain name. Changing it afterward will break things.\nDomain name: example.com<\/strong>\n\nDo you want to enable single user mode? (y\/N) N<\/strong>\n\nAre you using Docker to run Mastodon? (Y\/n) N<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nDuring the PostgreSQL setup, you can keep all the settings as their defaults by simply pressing Enter for each prompt. Your database doesn’t rely on a password for authentication; instead, it uses peer authentication, which we’ll explain further later on. For now, you can leave these settings empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just press Enter for each prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Redis host:(localhost) localhost<\/strong>\nRedis port:(6379) 6379<\/strong>\nRedis password: \nRedis configuration works!<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn the next step, you have two options: use local storage or set up cloud storage with various providers. you’ll be prompted to decide how you want to handle file storage for Mastodon. If you prefer local storage please select “No.” if you want to store on cloud storage an immediate cloud storage solution is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to store uploaded files on the cloud? (y\/N) N<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nMastodon needs access to an SMTP email server to send emails. Maintaining a secure and reliable email server is challenging, so an external provider is recommended. It’s best to use an external email service provider. Note that most charges are based on usage, and some offer a free tier up to a certain limit. Use your discretion in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using email providers, you’ll need to create and configure an account. After signing up, you typically have to verify your domain by adding DNS records. You’ll also require an API key for secure authentication. The exact process varies by provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to send e-mails from localhost? No\nSMTP server: (smtp.mailgun.org) smtp.mailgun.org<\/strong>\nSMTP port: (587) 587<\/strong>\nSMTP username:\nSMTP password: \nSMTP authentication: (plain) \n\nSMTP OpenSSL verify mode: none\n\nEnable STARTTLS: auto\n \nE-mail address to send e-mails \"from\":mastodon<notification@mailgun.org>\n\nSend a test e-mail with this configuration ? (Y\/n)Y\n\nDo you want Mastodon to periodically check for important updates and notify you? (Recommended) (Y\/n) Y<\/strong>\n\nThis configuration will be written to .env.production\nSave configuration? (Y\/n) Y<\/strong>\n\nNow that configuration is saved, the database schema must be loaded.\nIf the database already exists, this will erase its contents.\nPrepare the database now? Yes\nRunning `RAILS_ENV=production rails db:setup` ...\n\n\nCreated database 'mastodon_production'\nDone!\n\nThe final step is compiling CSS\/JS assets.\nThis may take a while and consume a lot of RAM.\nCompile the assets now? Yes\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYour Mastodon server is ready, but it’s not running yet. You’ll be prompted to create an administrator account for logging into your Mastodon server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to create an admin user straight away? (Y\/n) Y\nUsername: (admin) \nE-mail: <\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo check the contents of your generated Mastodon configuration file, open it using the “nano” text editor or your preferred text editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo vim \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/mastodon <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInside this file, replace all instances of “example.com” with your own domain name. Make any other necessary adjustments according to your configuration needs. Look for lines beginning with “ssl_certificate” and “ssl_certificate_key.” Remove the “#” symbol at the beginning of these lines to uncomment them. Then, replace the path in these lines with the correct file paths for your SSL certificate and key, which should correspond to your domain name. Save the file, after making the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using email providers, you’ll need to create and configure an account. After signing up, you typically have to verify your domain by adding DNS records. You’ll also require an API key for secure authentication. The exact process varies by provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a mastodon System User and granting it administrative privileges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To begin, go to the root and create your Mastodon user using the ‘adduser’ command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nadduser mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nFollowing that, add your Mastodon user to the sudo group to provide it with administrative privileges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
usermod -aG sudo mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting Up Mastodon: Installing Dependencies and Cloning the Repository<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore proceeding, ensure that you have installed curl, wget, GnuPG, apt-transport-https, lsb-release, and ca-certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt install -y curl wget gnupg apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNode.js<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_16.x | bash -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ninstall Node.js 16.x and npm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt-get install -y nodejs<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou might also require development tools for creating native add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt-get install gcc g++ make<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo install the Yarn package manager, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

corepack enable<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYarn has two distinct development paths, one being version 1.0 (known as classic), and the other being version 2.0. Mastodon specifically needs the classic version of yarn. You can enable this classic version using the command: “yarn set version”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yarn set version classic<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstalling Ruby<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo make managing Ruby versions simpler and more efficient, we’ll use rbenv. With rbenv, it’s easier to obtain the correct Ruby versions and update them when new releases become available. However, it’s important to note that rbenv must be installed for a specific Linux user. Therefore, the first step is to create the user that Mastodon will run as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
switch to mastodon user<\/p>\n\n\n\n
su - mastodon<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/rbenv\/rbenv.git ~\/.rbenv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ncd ~\/.rbenv\nsrc\/configure \nmake -C src<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho 'export PATH=\"$HOME\/.rbenv\/bin:$PATH\"' >> ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\necho 'eval \"$(rbenv init -)\"' >> ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nexec bash<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/rbenv\/ruby-build.git ~\/.rbenv\/plugins\/ruby-build<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nRUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.2.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo set this Ruby version as the new default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rbenv global 3.2.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngem install bundler --no-document<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf you find the new version of Gem use this command to install <\/p>\n\n\n\n
gem update --system 3.4.20<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting up PostgreSQL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You should create a PostgreSQL user for Mastodon. In a basic setup, the simplest approach is to use “ident” authentication. This means that the PostgreSQL user doesn’t have a separate password and can be accessed by the Linux user with the same username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo -u postgres createuser --interactive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nOutput\nEnter name of role to add: mastodon<\/strong>\nShall the new role be a superuser? (y\/n) y<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSetting up Mastodon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To obtain the latest stable release of Mastodon, use Git to download the code.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\ncd \/home\/mastodon\/ <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/mastodon\/mastodon.git live\ncd live<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\ngit checkout $(git tag -l | grep '^v[0-9.]*$' | sort -V | tail -n 1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstalling the last dependencies<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\nbundle config deployment 'true'\nbundle config without 'development test'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nbundle install -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nyarn install --pure-lockfile<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\nThe two “bundle config” commands are necessary only during the initial dependency installation. If you plan to update or reinstall dependencies at a later time, you can simply use “bundle install.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Run the interactive setup of Mastodon<\/h3>\n\n\n\nRAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mastodon:setup<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPlease enter your domain name. make sure your input is accurate because changing it later can be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mastodon offers a single-user mode where registrations are disabled. If your goal is to create a shared space with others, it’s important not to enable the single-user mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your instance is identified by its domain name. Changing it afterward will break things.\nDomain name: example.com<\/strong>\n\nDo you want to enable single user mode? (y\/N) N<\/strong>\n\nAre you using Docker to run Mastodon? (Y\/n) N<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nDuring the PostgreSQL setup, you can keep all the settings as their defaults by simply pressing Enter for each prompt. Your database doesn’t rely on a password for authentication; instead, it uses peer authentication, which we’ll explain further later on. For now, you can leave these settings empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PostgreSQL host:(\/var\/run\/postgresql) \/var\/run\/postgresql<\/strong>\nPostgreSQL port: (5432) 5432<\/strong>\nName of PostgreSQL database: (mastodon_production) mastodon_production<\/strong>\nName of PostgreSQL user: (mastodon) mastodon<\/strong>\nPassword of PostgreSQL user: \nDatabase configuration works!<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSince this database is meant to be accessible only locally on this server, there’s no need to set up a password so, you can keep the Redis settings at their default values, and you can leave the password field empty. Just press Enter for each prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Redis host:(localhost) localhost<\/strong>\nRedis port:(6379) 6379<\/strong>\nRedis password: \nRedis configuration works!<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn the next step, you have two options: use local storage or set up cloud storage with various providers. you’ll be prompted to decide how you want to handle file storage for Mastodon. If you prefer local storage please select “No.” if you want to store on cloud storage an immediate cloud storage solution is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to store uploaded files on the cloud? (y\/N) N<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nMastodon needs access to an SMTP email server to send emails. Maintaining a secure and reliable email server is challenging, so an external provider is recommended. It’s best to use an external email service provider.
