Self hosting Mastodon
With the recent migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there has been discussions around people self hosting instances.
To this end, I am trying to compile a list of required skills to help people with the process.
I would assume if you want to self host an instance, then you are already on Mastodon anyway. If not It would be beneficial to join mastodon in the first instance that way you can ask questions about this directly, to this end there is a invite link here
First and foremost, being familiar with the Unix command line is important. There are lots of options
- Linux / Unix Command Line
- Web Apps
- Infrastructure
- Scripting
- Programming (for automation)
- Databases
- Networking
- Moderation skills
The Internet is full of fantastic learning opportunities, so perhaps start off looking at the following :
- Free Code Camp which will probably cover most of the above.
- Computer series this is a series of videos / posts I compiled to try and help people with some of the learning needed to move on to learning about cybersecurity.
If you need help, there are several people on Mastodon who you can follow such as @[email protected] and myself @[email protected], even though I am probably not much help other than trying to find people or resources to help and updating this page of course.
