The current comment says that you need to cheese to create a new cert. However, certbot gives you the following options:
What would you like to do?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Keep the existing certificate for now
2: Renew & replace the cert (limit ~5 per 7 days)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not clear that renewing & replacing means to create a new one
* Show How To Become Root
I just realized I could not do certain things from a sudo. I needed to be root via "sudo /bin/bash". I know this is a trival issue, but I am intermediate at handling the terminal and needed to know this.
* Revise Command Used To Become Root
Revised 'sudo /bin/bash' to 'sudo -i' to become root
* Fix sidekiq queues ordering in production guide
The ordering defines the priority, and the code expects default > push > pull > mailers
* Swap mailers and pull queues
The `mailers` queue contains all kinds of notifications, it's probably more important than `pull` jobs.
As Mastodon temporaliry saves uploaded content to memory and disk (if
/tmp is a disk), unlimiting client max body size makes the server
vulnerable to DoS attack.
This gives some advice on getting started with an email service guide, including specifics on the process and caveats of the various free services people recommend, as well as a short command in the Rails console that helps a user test this out.
* add ExecReload to reload puma.
This enables puma to reload changes without restarting process.
* fix path for command `kill`
* fix to bash.
* change to /bin/kill
* change from hot restart to phased restart.
* "gcc-6" should just be "gcc"
gcc-6 isn't a valid package name
* It was `adduser mastodon` for a reason
making it with `--system and --disabled-password` breaks the rest of the guide where `su - mastodon` is used.
I use this method as it makes maintaining the Mastodon instance easier.
* eval "$(rbenv init -)" should be in ~/.bashrc as well
otherwise the correct ruby version isn't used
* Use sudo su - instead
- Nginx duplication in packages installation
- Specify the user type for `mastodon` (--system and --disabled-password)
- Simplify services start-up
- Clearly write how to check services are running (or not) with `systemctl status`
* Complete re-write of Mastodon Production Guide
I re-wrote the Mastodon Production Guide so that it has a better structure.
Work on this re-write was done on my own repo:
https://github.com/staticsafe/mastodon-documentation
* Fix typo in a heading
* Change node.js Repository section to use curl|bash method.
For simplicity's sake
* Add an explanation of the dependencies
Added in the "Various Other Dependencies" section.
* Fix links to the Ruby project, was using the link to Rails previously.
* Add Let's Encrypt section with a short guide to certificate tool installation, certificate generation and automated renewal.
* Use systemctl instead of service in LE section
This is for consistency reasons.
