🔧 Hosting a Mastodon instance by just following guides? That's step 1. 📖 But truly understanding what's going on under the hood? Now that's next-level mastery. 💡 Remember, true knowledge isn't just about following steps, it's about grasping the essence! 🚀

@gadgetboy it would be interesting to know how much having less relays affects the amount of content you get in your feed, I think it will only effect followed #hashtags and not account follows, also you know you can purge media after an amount of time from cron?

I’ve been advised to reduce or remove the number of relays connected to my instance to reduce my media storage requirements. I’ve pared them down from 7 to just 3. We’ll see how well that works.

Updated the instance to mastodon 4.1.0, the ability to view followed tags and edit text description of already posted images has been nice.

The main downside is that the issue with paperclip not pooling connections to fog object storage still results in http 419 from my Swift storage provider.

The local patch I had broke with dependencies updating, so we're back to concurrency=1 during media remove, which is not ideal.

@motoridersd Ohhhh, you’re running your own instance. Sweet! I’ve considered masto.host because for $6/mo, why not. #mastohost #mastodonhosting

Cloudflare describes Wildebeest as a “minimally viable Mastodon-compatible server.” It’s compatible with “most” popular web, desktop, and mobile Mastodon clients and supports basic Mastodon features like publishing, editing, boosting, and deleting toots. Text and image posts are supported, but video is coming later.

What #mastodonhosting providers are there out there that offers shell access? I'm looking to install some plugins and alot of providers doesn't support that not offering shell.

@mastodonmigration @medium yes. Mastodon is free and open, but why not use it on Medium’s terms. Thanks but no thanks - I run my own instance and I play by my own rules. I don’t need a company to take my newfound freedom away and tell me what I need are rules and discipline 😆😀😀 #mastodonhosting #hostyourowninstance #freedom #medium

The instance is experiencing some minor hiccups as it re-establishes itself with the fediverse since moving servers. The biggest one being Home feed updates, so I will likely be missing everything posted the past week by the people I follow.

The new company isn't to blame at all. They've been amazing. But people who are new to running an instance may not be aware of these sort of things if/when a server move is necessary.

If you have a working relay on your server I don't have, please let me know :) #hosting #mastodonhosting #mastodonrelay

I have a self owned server in a datacenter and could potentially take on one more mastodon instance for anyone who is interested. I will be offering (£90/month) 500 GB media storage, 25 GB for database, 8GB RAM and 8 dedicated (not shared) cores of processing power. Let me know if you’re interested. You can have SSH access to the machine too. #hosting #mastodonhosting

@mmasnick Seems like the use case is a large university, corporation, media organization or government entity that already is familiar with outsourcing for managed services. Layering on Masto hosting, perhaps including moderation, would be a good MIS offering.

So, dear #Fediverse… I’m thinking about firing up a small limited-access but federated #Mastodon instance to organize a comics study workshop with friends. Any recommendations or tips on how to proceed? I’m on a Dreamhost VPS and would like to avoid extra expenses as much as possible.

I'm wondering what the best practice should be for a small nonprofit/NGO that wants to have a presence on Mastodon. Should they run their own server? (My guess is yes but only if they have the organizational capacity.) For an org that doesn't have the capacity to do it themselves, should there be mastodon servers that exist to welcome and host nonprofits? Do they exist already? #nonprofit #MastodonHosting

Etsin suomalaisia managed Mastodon hosting solution providers (samankaltaisia kuin masto.host, toot.io, cloudplane.org, spacebear.ee).

So has anyone got any experience of Weingärtner and their Mastodon hosting service?

Where are the single-user instance turn-key mastodon hosting providers? This seems like an obvious (albeit niche) market that people would pay $5-$8 per month for.

Does anyone here have any experience with using toot.io as a managed #Mastodon hosting company? I have to set up a server for a non-profit org. Any feedback is helpful. Thanks!
