I was about to do this as well but their installer sketched me out. Why can't it just be some easy to follow docker instructions? They use docker too but instructions to set it up on your own is basically "read the installer script".
Meanwhile mastodon is incredibly easy to self host w/ relays.
- benharri 2y agoi certainly wouldn't say mastodon easy to self host

I installed it to see if it added anything worth keeping together with the other activitypub things I'm running (Peertube, Pixelfed and Lemmy, the latter two only for testing purposes, the first sees real use on several instances) and can vouch on the ease of getting it up and running.

- j45 2y agoAn installer script is often an early step, and much better than nothing... as well as a step towards docker. Here's the kicker, the install script could be called from a Dockerfile pretty easily, no? Sure, there might be things to sort out, but it doesn't seem unreasonable. I agree having a docker image is super handy and can be quick to try, as well as update, and put into a larger self-hosted environment how you need.
