# How to start up a mastodon VM
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake .#mastodon
|
|
./result/bin/run-nixos-vm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can access mastodon at <https://mastodon.localhost:55001>
|
|
|
|
- You will have to "accept the security risk".
|
|
- It may take a minute for the webpage to come online. Until then you will see 502 Bad Gateway
|
|
|
|
Remember that if you want to clear the state from one launch to the next, you should delete the `nixos.qcow2` file that is created.
|
|
|
|
- email, when it works, will be accessible at <https://mastodon.localhost:55001/letter_opener>
|
|
|
|
## peertube
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake .#peertube
|
|
./result/bin/run-nixos-vm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can access peertube at <https://peertube.localhost:9000>
|
|
|
|
The root account can be logged in with username "root". The password can be obtained with the command
|
|
```bash
|
|
journalctl -u peertube | perl -ne '/password: (.*)/ && print $1'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or just
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
journalctl -u peertube | grep password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and look at the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
Creating other accounts has to be enabled via the admin interface. `Administration > Configuration > Basic > Enable Signup` or just add an account directly from `Administration > Create user`. But functionality can also be tested from the root account.

# TODOs
|
|
|
|
- [ ] set up a domain name and a DNS service so we can do deploy this to an actual machine
|
|
- [ ] set up an email service
|
|
- [ ] add logging
|
|
- [ ] errors / logs
|
|
- [ ] performance
|
|
- [ ] switch to garage / s3 storage
|
|
- SEE: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/object-storage/
|
|
- [ ] decouple the postgres database from this machine
|
|
- [ ] test with high use / throughput
|
|
- [ ] configure scaling behaviour
|
|
- SEE: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/scaling/
|
|
- [ ] remove the need for "accept security risk" dialogue if possible
|
|
- [ ] development environment does not work seamlessly.
|
|
- [x] don't require proxy server
|
|
- either forward 443 directly, or get mastodon to accept connections on a different port (maybe 3000? see development environment documentation)
|
|
- [ ] get letter_opener working
