How to run Mastodon for development on an Apple M1 Pro device

How to run Mastodon on a (early 2022) MacBookPro M1 Pro

Last updated on late November 2022.

First and foremost: do not waste your time with Vagrant (VirtualBox is not ready yet) or docker-compose (which runs a production environment)

My goal here is to run a Mastodon instance on a laptop, but using a virtual machine of some sort, so to not install a lot of dependencies on the real one. I have found out that the best solution is to use a virtual machine running (Ubuntu) Linux and follow the manual installation instructions from the official guide. The official guide assumes that you will be running the dev environment within a Linux box, but I have found that to be able to run Mastodon inside a virtual machine, several small tweaks are necessary, hence this guide.

My hardware configuration: MBP M1 Pro with 16GB

#!/usr/bin/env node
// This is a script "recipe" for releasing
// It has been inspired by yeoman generator-release
// The reason for this to exist is that I didn't want to include an external dependency (yeoman) for a 'task',
// when all the tasks of the project are managed by gulp
//
// What this recipe does:
// - Runs sanity check to see if we can release
// - are we in the `releaseEvents` branch?
// - is the working directory git-clean?

Fastest way to create an EC2 machine with Amazon provided SSL certificates (?)
Since you can only use ACM provided certificates from (A/N/E)LB or CloudFormation, I think this
could be the easiest way (using ALB).
- (EC2) Create a security group that only accepts HTTPS
- (EC2) Create a security group that only accepts HTTP connection from the security group above
- (EC2) Create the EC2 instance and bind it to the the security group above
- (EC2) Create a Target Group and use the above EC2 as the target inside it
- (ACM) Create the SSL certificate in ACM (hint: you can create it directly from Route53)
- (EC2) Create an Application Load Balancer in the same EC2's AZs using the above target group and the SSL certificate
- (Route53) Edit your DNS zone to add the LB A record (use its Alias and autocomplete)
