## Important points to read before installing

- **Mastodon** require a dedicated **root domain**, eg. `domaine.tld` or `mastodon.domain.tld`, with no other apps installed on that domain. You can't change the domain once installed.
- The user choosen during the installation is automatically created in Mastodon with admin rights
- It seems important to close registrations 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.

## Using *screen* in case of disconnect

Mastodon can take a long time to install, depending on server performance.  
To avoid the process being interrupted by a disconnection, you can use `screen`.

```bash
sudo apt install screen
screen
sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh.git
```

Recover after disconnect:

```bash
screen -d
screen -r
```
