Thanks. Migration is still underway. Experiencing some hiccups due to all the followers the process is trying to carry over. Good experiment though. :)

@m Haha, I feel this so much. But I've managed to blog more in the past two years...
@clacke This is super interesting. I had no idea. Still so much to learn here! Love it.
Nice! This would have saved me a lot of time š
This is all such fantastic info. Thank you.
Looking forward to writing a tutorial on setting up an Akkoma instance for dummies.
This was the first server I ever set up from scratch in my life. And about time too.
@aminco If you want to grab the code from the page your are welcome to it. :)
I can send you the php file if you want (I only use php to repeat the form fields).
It's all just one file. And it still has some limitations. URLs and usernames should be set to a fixed number of characters. So requires a bit of work ;)
Thanks! Yes, it's small but that is also what intrigued me when people were saying it was possible to run on a small one.
I'll likely at least double the specs before I move the big account there. š
My Mastodon instance is indeed on an 8GB 4-core server, but that is also shared with a lot of other stuff that I don't want to be affected by Mastodon :)
As my support corner on this I have to ask you all, is the server supposed to be running at close to 100% RAM usage?
I've made all the optimization settings to the database and thought it would actually be requiring less RAM.
It's a 1 core, 1GB RAM machine and all I'm running is Akkoma.
Maybe it's just using all that is available, because that makes the most sense?
@ashur Very nice! Will definitely include this in the piece I'm writing about RSS.
Thanks everyone for all your help. We'll see how this goes. Haven't decided on a move yet, but really enjoying the better thread/reply management of Akkoma.
@MisterArix Were you able to bring over followers, not just follows? Not seeing this in Akkoma...
@troed Memory usage is constantly above 1GB. Sometimes up to 2GB. I believe the issue is that Mastodon doesn't scale well for one person with many followers.
@mookie Ah, thanks. Now I see what you mean. I'll have a browse through the settings to see if that can be addressed.
@mookie Oh, interesting. I'll have to look out for that one.

@joeldebruijn I'm more of a novice too. This is the first year ever I'm setting up servers on my own š
I haven't gotten around to a mail server yet. It works without it. But if I want to set up system messages I will need to do that as well.
@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.

Hehe, jag har nog egentligen varit UX:aren som 'hittat tillbaka' mer och mer. Bƶrjade programmera som 8-Ć„ring 1982. š¬
Men hƄller verkligen med. @beantin och jag pratar ofta om att man mƄste kƤnna till materialet man arbetar med om man ska kunna bygga nƄgot anvƤndbart av det.
Det har verkligen varit en styrka att kunna prata med utvecklare om viktiga saker och ibland Ƥven kunna rƄdge.
KƤnns som du har oerhƶrt liknande profil men med lite mer hard core tech-kunskap š

Jag Ƥr precis tillbaka in i den hƤr vƤrlden igen (har vƤl aldrig varit riktigt i den Ƥven om jag fƶrstƄr den hyfsat) sƄ jag trevar och testar.
Jag blev vƤldigt hjƤlpt av @cloudron som primƤr lƶsning fƶr att hantera min server (den har dock inte Akkoma i utbudet).
TƤnkte nu fƶrmodligen ha en separat VPS fƶr Akkoma sĆ„ att den inte ākrockarā med Cloudron.
Min nuvarande setup, inklusive kostnader, har jag bloggat om hƤr (stƤmmer i stort fortfarande):

I love it too.Trivia: back in the day I made a Swedish version of This is a Motherfucking Website, but without the cursing. So it was closer to "Words", which was another website making the rounds in 2013.
Your revival of this framework Kev makes me want to also make another variant related to Indieweb.
