@lukaslykus@mastodon.lol @chrisale it’s good times. For a self admitted Mac guy I have always been comfortable in a terminal. Love watching logs and watching the packages install and source compile!

@gdeihl right? Waste not want not and stuff :)
Considering it only has 4GB (expandable to 8 or 16 I think) and a spinning HDD that could be swapped for a SD drive, it does have some room to grow if the CPU (3Ghz Core2Duo) doesn’t turn out to be a bottleneck. So far it seems quite capable.

@arcepi oh, of course. I host my domain elsewhere including its DNS but I wonder if I could make the mstdn server an NS for the sub domain. I could make the home gear all be part of the mstdn subdomain and that could enable it to work locally? 🤔 🤔

The irony with this home-based Mastodon server is I can’t use it while connected to my own home wifi. The client gets all confused because of routers and things. So I am posting minimally now until I can get to work where I don’t have to use my cell data. 😂 😂

FootiMac has survived the night!! It seems to be doing just fine. I am sure I would not be able to have more than a handful of people on here but by golly I think it’s gonna be OK. The biggest concern is media storage which is just local. But as long as it doesn’t fill up within 10 days then it should purge everything. There will be no room for a permanent record here!

Stats from sidekiq 11.000 queries processed so far. 

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
The database has about 20 live connections at a time

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Memory usage by sidekiq is low. Which is good as this iMac in has 4GB of RAM!

If you would like to know how I created my own Mastodon server on a 2009 iMac, I created two threads about the process.
#selfhosting
Day 1 getting Debian on the iMac. This turned out to be an exercise in frustration because I tried to install Ubuntu first. You can skip to when I switch to Debian: https://mstdn.ca/@chrisale/10969584810 4395786

Day 2 getting Mastodon running, it was not too bad at all!: https://mstdn.ca/@chrisale/10970184138 9901809

#introduction Hi! You may already know me from @chrisale. I’ve just created my own Mastodon server at home and I’m trying it out.

It would be really cool if you boosted this so much that my old 2009 iMac melted… but even if all you do is Favourite this little intro and move on I’d be forever grateful.

I am a computer nerd, but also a socialist. A Mac geek, but also an anti-racist. A social media addict, but…. Only on Mastodon of course!

Love you all. ❤️ ❤️
