An Ansible playbook to install Mastodon

Instructions for running this playbook

  • Copy group_vars/all.sample to group_vars/all, edit with your own instance's domain/sub-domain
  • Copy roles/mastodon-config/templates/.env.production.sample to roles/mastodon-config/templates/.env.production, edit with all relevant details
  • The application secrets in that file can be generated using the pwgen utility found in the package repositories, exact command would be pwgen 150 3
  • The VAPID keys can be generated using the web-push package from NPM, install this on your Ansible bastion host or the Mastodon server and put the values in .env.production, exact command would be web-push generate-vapid-keys.
  • Make a hosts file that looks like this:
[mastodon]
dev.example.social
  • Run the playbook with ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
