1 Limitation
- This article reffers Production-guide.md and Alternatives.md in Mastodon documentation.
- This Mastodon instance is for checking Mastodon usage and API. This is not production level.
- The Mastodon, Redis, PostgreSQL, Apache and Postfix will be installed in the same machine.
- Only <user>@localhost can be used for account (This Postfix setting only sends to localhost). If you need multiple account, you need to create multiple local user in machine for creating multiple mail address.
- You need to login to machine for checking confirmation mail.
- The Apache setting does not use RewriteRule and subdomain. This will prevent other web service which uses Apache.
