Random opinionated helper scripts & front-end customizations for my personal Mastodon instance (running on glitch-soc). You definitely don't want to use any of this as-is — check out my more general purpose mastodon-installer scripts instead.

Usage

AGAIN, DEFINITELY DO NOT JUST RUN THIS IF YOU'RE NOT ME!!! 😊

git clone https://github.com/jakejarvis/mastodon-scripts.git /home/mastodon/scripts
git config --global --add safe.directory /home/mastodon/scripts

cd /home/mastodon/live
git apply --allow-binary-replacement --whitespace=warn /home/mastodon/scripts/patches/*.patch || true
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile

chown -R mastodon:mastodon /home/mastodon/{scripts,live}

systemctl restart mastodon-web

Patches

hide-signup.patch: Hide the "create account" button (for aesthetics, not security!)
favicons.patch: Use custom icon images instead of Mastodon logo
robots.patch: Disallow search engines for all of Mastodon
system-font.patch: Use the system's default sans-serif font stack instead of Roboto
