An Ansible playbook to install Mastodon

Requirements

  • Latest stable version of Ansible (this was tested with Ansible 2.4)
  • Server(s) running Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 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 (LOCAL_DOMAIN value is mandatory, it is your instance domain/sub-domain.)
  • Make a hosts file that looks like this:
[mastodon]
dev.example.social
  • Run the playbook with ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
