       I'm starting to flirt with the idea of setting up my own mastodon or #calckey instance.  General rhetoric around server administration is off-putting; huge server requirements, moderation time sink, etc.https://n00q.net/articles/guide-mastodon-hometown/ is the first guide I've seen that puts a price tag on it. 50GiB database + 250GiB object store is a pretty manageable cost.That guide is also way too manual for me.1/x

       @vorlon you only need a huge server if you are a huge instance...Not sure about calkey but at least something like pleroma is easy enough on the resources for a single user instance

       Too much twiddling of config files directly.  I've been doing Linux distribution packages for 25 years, if I'm going to do this I'm going to do it in a way that other admins can benefit from my effort.So what's the state of the art out there for automation of Fediverse services?  Are there snaps/debs/flatpaks for any of the servers?  Recipes for orchestrating the various services with ansible/puppet/chef/juju?2/2
