With each passing day, I grow more & more interested in having my content and conversations under my own control.
I already have my own #PeerTube instance. Maybe it's time to spin up my own #Mastodon instance, too?
Hate to lose what I've already posted here, but I can always re-post my intro and my pinned stuff, right?
So, I spun up a new #Mastodon instance via Cloudron, created some S3 storage at Wasabi, mounted that bucket to my Ubuntu server, and used that volume for Mastodon storage.
Took about an hour.
Maybe I *can* handle this?
@killyourfm nice, great work! Do you have an idea of the cost over time for the storage, I'm curious?
@fmo I could only guess right now, but @micah has an incredibly detailed blog post about his personal experience running a single-user Mastodon instance: https://www.micahwalter.com/how-much-ive-spent-so-far-running-my-own-mastodon-server-on-aws/
@killyourfm @micah thank you, I will have read.
