It’s a rails app. I love rails (and activitypub), and I use rails for work frequently, but it comes with substantial operational load (postgres, redis, worker nodes, process supervision, media storage, backups, high ram use, etc).
If that doesn’t scare you off, then go for it!
If you don’t want the federation, I’d suggest looking for something lighter.
- shoover 6y agoIt’s a little heavy, but I can say it runs fine in a 1 GB VPS, with the addition of a 1 GB swap file to compile the front end during installation and upgrade.
- cytzol 6y agoI'd go a little bit further here: I run Mastodon on a 1 GB VPS as well, but I found I had to make the swap file permanent to stop it from running out of memory. It's not super heavy but it is heavy, and even though swap is slow, it still runs fast enough.
