# Took me a weekend

First run:

```sh
docker compose run web bundle exec rake mastodon:setup
```

This will guide you through the setup.
Remember that without SMTP mailing setup, you can't create new users, so only an admin user will work.

Copy the values created in the setup guide to the `.env.production.yml` file.

```sh
sudo chown -R 991:991 /srv/mastodon/web
```

commit the changes, push to repo, start the container

```sh
docker compose up --build
```

This should just spin up the container.
