Unless you want 100% Mastodon API / quirks compatibility, I'd skip the original Mastodon source and go for something like Akkoma[1] (it's a fork of Pleroma) - easier to install and much lighter in resource use. If you're only ever going to be single-user, Ktistec[2] might be worth a look Or if you want to go ultra-minimal, there's Honk[3]. (GoToSocial is an up-and-comer but I'm having weird issues with it talking to other instances. But they're working on these things.)
