Mastodon/Setup: Difference between revisions

In this case we are using glitch-soc to run a Mastodon server.

We will make:

We will be following the official Mastodon setup docs (except cloning our fork of glitch-soc instead of the base masto repo):

Set up the domain name!

Once DNS is set up, you can run:

certbot certonly --standalone

to get SSL certs.

Then restart nginx to load them.

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash - && \
apt-get install -y nodejs

Create a SendGrid account, go to Settings > API Keys, and generate an API key.

Then set up the config like this:

SMTP_SERVER=smtp.sendgrid.net
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_LOGIN=apikey
SMTP_PASSWORD=<your-api-key>
SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS=youremail@gmail.com

(for SMTP_LOGIN literally just use "apikey")
