Notes
Installation compiles Ruby 4.0.5 and ffmpeg from source — this takes 15–30 minutes.
Admin credentials (email + password) are saved to ~/mastodon.creds.
LOCAL_DOMAIN in /opt/mastodon/.env.production is set to the container IP. For federation to work, change it to your actual domain and add TLS via a reverse proxy.
SMTP is not configured by default. Set SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_LOGIN, and SMTP_PASSWORD in .env.production for email notifications.
Media uploads are stored in /opt/mastodon/public/system. Increase disk size if you expect heavy media usage.
