      I have finished packaging it.

      https://git.cloudron.io/synchrone/mastodon-app

      The app needs a minimum of 640 MB of RAM to start up and stabilize. After it, the memory consumption seems to go down a bit, but cloudron will still require that much for it.

      It is available for testing under <your-cloudron>/#/appstore/org.joinmastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.6.1

          I tested it and I'm able to get the front page loading but it times out on both registering and login processes. This is both from the /#/appstore/org.joinmastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.6.1 source and when building it myself. Even tootctl freezes to a halt. There's plenty of memory on this VPS. What's wrong? Should allocate even more memory for the app?

            FYI: Nextcloud integrates (?) Mastodon in v 15:

            By using the popular ActivityPub standard, Nextcloud users can subscribe to and share status updates with users in the so-called ‘fediverse’, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers! This allows federation of Nextcloud servers with the popular decentralized Mastodon network, where tens of millions of users already ‘toot’ with one another, potentially growing the fediverse by an order of magnitude. According to wikipedia, Peertube, Pleroma, Friendica and soon Diaspora are part of this same network, as are almost a dozen more communities. As every one of the hundreds of thousands of Nextcloud servers turns into a potential hub in the fediverse, we are very excited about the possibilities this will give our users to communicate with others!

                      Just pushed out an updated version of Mastodon for testing (v2.8.4). For link to install add the following to your domain string: (#/appstore/org.mastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.8.4). Your testing would be greatly appreciated. I will try to keep up with newest release and better manage the repo. The main git is at (https://git.stealthdrop.cloud/c1t1z3n0n3/mastodon_cloudron) for you to submit issues we also have a support rocket.chat at (https://support.helpchangethe.world). This app would not be possible without the giants that put in the work of the first packages. Happy Testing

                          @girish With the introduction of apps with federation features, this calls for a way to solve federated account addresses to associate with to the root domain regardless of app path, on a system level.

                            @yusf Or maybe make the domain more easily configurable for popular apps like Mastodon (not in the store) as some admins will want to use the sub domain regardless.

                              It seems to achieve this one just needs to proxy a "well-known" document from the root domain to where mastodon is actually running:

                                Need something like this.
                                It would be better if it were lighter.

                                  @legacy If you need a more light weight alt - NExtcloud has support for ActivityPub (enable in admin -> Apps) and GNUSocial's protocol as well.

                                      I have published this app to unstable. It supports both "open registration" as well as "only for cloudron users" login modes.

                                        Heads up, there seems to be an issues logging in with users with a "." in the username, such as "user.admin"
                                        It gives an HTTP ERROR 422.
                                        When trying to make that user admin, the terminal responds: No user with such username

                                          @will Seems similar to https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/11277 .

                                          From what I can tell ".", "_" and "-" are allowed as per https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/f86ee4b59f25727d248609e0afe277a4f69f6be7/app/models/account.rb#L52 . So maybe this is a LDAP adapter bug that we need to report upstream.
