My single-user Mastodon instance has been ticking away at phocks.eu.org for a while now, over a year at least. All up, I’ve paid zero dollars to keep it running. I’ve had a few people ask me to write up something about it, so here it is.

If you’re comfortable logging into a Linux server via SSH and running commands you shouldn’t have any major troubles setting it up, but it will take a few hours of work. Enjoy!
