After some testing, I will be using another docker image for Mastodon: https://hub.docker.com/r/sirboops/mastodon/ by @Sir_Boops!

Source here: https://git.sergal.org/Sir-Boops/docker-mastodon/src/branch/master/Dockerfile

Why? Because Mastodon is heavy on the RAM, and this image uses jemalloc, so I hope we'll see improvements. :blobthumbsup:

Restart in a few minutes

I'll do a maintenance later to move the server onto Hetzne's Ceph storage instead of local SSD

Reminder that I am a human being so don't trust me.
There is no guarantee the instance will run forever. There is no guarantee that I won't do a rm -rf one day.

(I have backups though lol)

(Also I have lile 35k toots here so I don't want the instance to disappear right)

Anyway, remember to make backup accounts elsewhere and to exports your stuff every once in a while

So we're now hosted at Hetzner, in Germany! 🇩🇪

This migration allowed us to move to a KVM server and update to Debian 9. :debian:

Everything seems to be running fine for now! :mastodon_oops:
