An Ansible playbook to install Mastodon

Requirements

  • Latest stable version of Ansible (this was tested with Ansible 2.4)
  • Server(s) running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for hosting Mastodon

Instructions for running this playbook

  • Copy group_vars/all.sample to group_vars/all and edit it to specify the database name you wish to use with Mastodon. The PostgreSQL database role will drop this database in preparation for Mastodon's database setup so make sure this is not a database you are currently using
  • Copy roles/mastodon-config/templates/.env.production.sample to roles/mastodon-config/templates/.env.production, edit with all relevant details. (SMTP details are probably the only required one, the others you can leave be)
  • Make a hosts file that looks like this (Make sure that the nodename here is the domain/sub-domain you want for your Mastodon instance, we use it as a variable):
[mastodon]
dev.example.social
  • Run the playbook with ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
