Welcome to the tootiverse.

This Ansible playbook sets up a single server Mastodon instance, following (roughly, but much more automated-ly) the official Mastodon source install guide.

Note: The playbook is a work in progress. See this issue for details: Make it like... work and stuff.

1. Create a VPS somewhere. Choose Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11.
2. Install Ansible locally, make sure you can SSH into your server.
3. Install requirements: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml --force
4. Create a hosts.ini file and config.yml file from the provided example files.
5. Run this playbook: ansible-playbook main.yml

MIT.
