This package allow you to install Mastodon quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.
If you don't have YunoHost, please see here to know how to install and enjoy it.

⚠️ UPDATE 05/06/17 :This app can work now on ARM, but installation takes several hours and you must add a swapfile of 1GB.

⚠️ This application uses the Debian backports packages, do not install this application directly in production

Overview

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network. A decentralized alternative to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Pick a server that you trust — whichever you choose, you can interact with everyone else. Anyone can run their own Mastodon instance and participate in the social network seamlessly.

Shipped version: 2.9.2

Recommendation

You can't install Mastodon in subdirectory, you must use a domain or subdomain for this application.

It seems important to close the inscriptions for your Mastodon, so that it remains a private body. We invite you to block remote malicious instances from the administration interface. You can also add text on your home page.
