Hometown

A supported fork of Mastodon that provides local posting and a wider range of content types.

This repository is a copy of coop-cloud/mastodon but with a fresh README and some Hometown specific configuration. It seems like a good idea to keep the deployment separate since the apps may diverge in their deployment or configuration instructions at some point despite best wishes to remain as mainline Mastodon as possible.

Basic usage

Hometown expects secrets to be formatted in a very specific way, so please choose "No" when prompted to generate secrets for abra app new mastodon. The secrets must be generated outside of abra and that is achieved in step 2. See the abra.sh for more.

1. abra app new mastodon
2. abra app cmd <domain> secrets --local
3. abra app config <domain>
4. abra app deploy <domain>
5. abra app cmd <domain> setup

Then, on your host (outside of the containers), you'll need to fix permissions for the volume (see #2):

chown -R 991:991 /var/lib/docker/volumes/<domain>_app/_data

And finally, within the app container, create an admin account:

abra app cmd <domain> admin "<username>" "<email>"
