For the last 2 weeks I've been running a "fun to play around with" Glitch-soc Mastodon instance on a former work laptop that they didn't want back :bloblaugh:
Purged Windows and setup Linux server, attached a SSD and boom! Unfort the disk is only ~300GB is not much wiggle room
It's running quite smooth, except for some 'DNS issues' at the start, maybe IP ban or something🤔Been using my single letter domain 'u.fail' for this btw if anyone is interested
Note that the installation for glitch-soc differs from that for vanilla Mastodon, but it's easy.
Only thing that confused me about glitch-soc at first is that there are no tags and that you're just basically on the main branch and check out there. They have a permanent issue open for when something with breaking changes is added though so that should be fine when updating since it's basically as far as I have understood it just git fetch, pull, restarting sidekiq, reloading web and done. (Unless anything breaking is introduced and noted). Not yet sure if my guess in that regards is 100% correct but I think so 😂
Oh and my instance is using the purple variant of that theme since it's very close to the vanilla UI but with tweaks.
Character limit is set to 4000 chars on my instance and it's working fine with all apps I tested. :verified_blobCat:
@brayd Migrations are stored in that folder when pulling code 😆 And for FE just run recompile, if nothing has changed nothing happens otherwise you'll get new compiled assets
@stux I can stand behind more characters. It was easy to fit into 1 toot at the beginning, but now I constantly have to divide my toots into smaller ones or redact to make it in the limit...😂
