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

We will make:

  • One "default" instance at neuromatch.social
  • One Dev Instance at dev.neuromatch.social

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


Configure the email server

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")
