@mookie Haha, nice. Just as I was going through some server config issues as well. I was down for five minutes...

@joeldebruijn Yes, from scratch. I tried making a Cloudron docker image first but failed spectacularly.
With the fresh install I ran into some troubles but understand enough that I could find forum entries to help me out.
Specifically the certbot (Let's Encrypt) and Nginx (server) I made some mistakes with.
I used the OTP variant of installing which is reasonably straightforward but it took me about 3 hours to get it all running on an Ubuntu server.

Finally up and running with an Akkoma instance now. Will play around with this for a week or two but chances are this will become my primary account in the end.
If you haven't been following along I've been frustrated with Mastodon consuming too much server capacity, and have wanted to try something more suited for a single-user instance.
My research led me here, and by truly pushing the boundaries of my server skills I managed to set up my own #Akkoma instance.
It's not pretty (not much Fediverse software seems to be), but it gives me a lot more control in a much more streamlined install. I will likely design my own theme for it as well.

And thank you to @m who really highlighted many of the advantages of Akkoma.
