I'm trying to use Mastodon with Apache and MySQL, for reasons I can go into, rather than the apparently-assumed defaults of nginx and Postgres. (It's never explicitly stated "no, Mastodon will not work with anything else", but this may turn out to be the case.)
I'm using these instructions as a guide.
Notes
- Created a virtual server for Mastodon (icmstdn.com) using Virtualmin.
- Used Git to clone Mastodon (repository clone URL) into a subfolder of public_html
- Mastodon's files are now in /home/icmstdn/public_html/mastodon
- Created file .env.production (it didn't already exist) and then took a look at .env.production.sample to see what needs to be set.
Database
There doesn't seem to be any way to tell it which db engine to use -- but this looks like it could be a standard Ruby or Ruby on Rails config file -- so let's check my Redmine installation (which uses MySQL) to see if there are any clues...
Nope, no joy there.
