How To
Restarting Mastodon
The Mastodon server consists of a standard web server which proxies certain requests through to each of three systemd processes:
- mastodon-sidekiq.service
- mastodon-streaming.service
- mastodon-web.service
In some environments, these may be started, stopped, or restarted with a single command: systemctl <start/stop/restart> mastodon-*.service
Recently, we have found that start often does not work with the * wildcard, and the processes must be started individually:
systemctl start mastodon-sidekiq.servicesystemctl start mastodon-streaming.servicesystemctl start mastodon-web.service
