Bienvenue @pascalduez :D
Ça me rappelle qu'il faudrait qu'on se revoit !
Question: what is the cheapest hardware available to run Mastodon?
My current instance in on a VPS
1 vCore 2,4Gz / 2GB RAM / 10GB SSD
The problem I have is when I first installed Mastodon, I've built several times the Docker images and after three times or so it failed because of a lack of space.
I don't have a problem of scale because there are not lot of people on the server.
Do you think it is doable to keep this hardware or should I upgrade? And how?
Je trouve ça remarquable que sur Mastodon on utilise de moins en moins les #Hashtag et que l'on communique en textes longs et bien rédigés.
In fact, on Mastodon the toots have more quality than on Twitter because you can better express your ideas.
I wanted to shared a link on Twitter that I also shared on Mastodon. But, because of the limitation of 140 characters I had to remove some comment I added to the link. So, I had to remove the added value I had put to the link I wanted to share.
A P2P social network based on a mesh network for people who like to be off-grid. I find the project really interesting.

J'ai écrit un article sur l'auto-hébergement il y a quelques semaines qui pourrait intéresser les utilisateurs de Mastodon qui souhaitent se lancer dans l'aventure : https://www.killiankemps.fr/fr/blog/auto-hebergement-la-route-n-est-pas-si-longue
Petite précision sur #Mastodon: l'admin de votre instance a accès à tous vos toots, même privés (gmail a accès à tous vos mails, twitter à tous vos tweets...) So beware who you trust and what you post.
#Mastodon a l'air de commencer à enfin fédérer sur mon instance \o/
