  • How big is yours (instance) ?
    It does grow very fast. I still can't figure if it is because I am using docker via cloudron.io or something badly set up. I think that I can barely keep media more than 1 month. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

    - Due to the architecture of cloudron.io , it says that it save only the database. - But when I go the PgHero, it says that my database is only 133Mb. - I have restart my Mastodon app but not the VPS server as I am a bit afraid because I had a big trouble where I have lost 36hr of activity. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

    I have found a solution. Not the best one but I have change the address from https://mastodon.bagarrosphere.fr to https://bagarrosphere.fr . It seems to be good. I can't do much while passing by cloudron.io but should be enough. As I was not able to install my instance by myself (even after 4 days of trying). - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

    I used cloudron.io, cloudflare dns service Free Tier, and installed Ubuntu 20.04 with all Updates and then added Jellyfin through cloudron control panel (my.domain.com) once all that was setup and it connected my domain to it with http & https and I did not have to add it manually.
