I'm trying something again: hosting my own Mastodon server!
This is internaut.club.
@jsbw I'm a newb mastodon hoster as well. Having a few teething problems but getting there. How much system resources are you throwing at this?
@boojit not much at all! like 2 GB, single CPU, on Digital Ocean (like $14/mo).
@jsbw Thanks for that. I'm similar but on AWS. My instance stopped responding in the middle of the night; I had trouble even rebooting it. Still not sure what caused it outside of I'm fairly certain it had something to do with RAM exhaustion. I found a configuration issue that was causing lots of sidekiq errors. So not sure if that is root cause; we will see.
