# Mastodon for YunoHost

[![Integration level](https://dash.yunohost.org/integration/mastodon.svg)](https://dash.yunohost.org/appci/app/mastodon)  
[![Install Mastodon with YunoHost](https://install-app.yunohost.org/install-with-yunohost.png)](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=mastodon)

*[Lire ce readme en français.](./README_fr.md)*

> *This package allow you to install Mastodon quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.  
If you don't have YunoHost, please see [here](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to know how to install and enjoy it.*

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

:warning: 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 â€” 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:** 2.9.0

## Configuration

#### Adding "swapfile" If you have less than 2Go of RAM
```
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1024000
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
```
add this line on /etc/fstab
```
/swapfile       none    swap    sw      0       0
```

### Install
#### Using __screen__ in case of disconnect
```
$ sudo apt-get install screen
$ screen
$ sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh.git
```
Recover after disconnect:
```
$ screen -d
$ screen -r
```
The admin user is automatically created as: user@domain.tld

### Update
#### Using __screen__ highly recommended

`$ sudo yunohost app upgrade mastodon -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh --debug `

## 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.
