Slow Startup due to chown'ing all data
-
Cloudron seems to chown all files every Mastodon starts up. This is terrible for a Mastodon server with all of the media uploads. Please add a way to skip this step. A simple memory adjustment leads to a 30 minute downtime while it loops recursively though all of the files.

Going through the startup script is a necessary evil to ensure that all apps work accordingly. If you depend on your service having a high uptime, you need to do (and announce) planned maintenances. Altering the configuration or startup process would be a source of user error and Cloudron is built for simplicity and ease of use. So yeah it's not ideal in the case of Mastodon but bearable.

The latest package removes those cache files more eagerly, so this should already help quite a bit.

@nebulon noted. I haven't updated to your latest package yet but I'll probably do that later tonight.
I still vote for a "I know what I'm doing, don't chown the files" check mark.
@nomadgeek I'm going to probably move the Mastodon instance into Kubernetes in the long run anyway. I used Cloudron to get started quickly and see if people were interested in even having the service before I put a lot of cash and work into setting up a more robust and complicated configuration.
