Mastodon Argo CD Application(Set)s Templates

Mastodon is social networking that's not for sale.

NOTE: This chart is still now working due to #20901 not being merged, and the issues #20904 and #20902. After those are fixed, we'll take another stab at making the bitnami chart work.

We create in the manifests and helm chart in this sync wave order:

• All External Secrets
• postgresql, redis, elasticsearch
• Mastodon Web Appset

Creating Mastodon Secrets

This template relies on you already having created secrets using the below method and then creating those as k8s secrets.

SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(docker run --rm -it tootsuite/mastodon:latest bin/rake secret)
OTP_SECRET=$(docker run --rm -it tootsuite/mastodon:latest bin/rake secret)

docker run --rm -e "OTP_SECRET=$OTP_SECRET" \
    -e "SECRET_KEY_BASE=$SECRET_KEY_BASE" \
    -it tootsuite/mastodon:latest bin/rake mastodon:webpush:generate_vapid_key 

Connect to postgres with worker container

Deploy the following container and attach to the shell, then run:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: debug-container
  namespace: mastodon
spec:
  containers:
  - name: postgres-client
    image: ubuntu:latest
    command:
      - sleep
      - "3600"
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  restartPolicy: Always

Run the following to install utilities

apt-get update && apt-get install -y postgresql-client dnsutils curl

connection string format:

psql -U mastodon \
  -d mastodon \
  -h mastodon-postgres.mastodon.svc.cluster.local \
  -p 5432

relation "accounts" does not exist error in the logs:

You may need to generate a DB migrate job from a helm template command as per suggestion in issue#18

pretty sure this was due to the bucket not having public read :)

admin commands

To get a shell into the main mastodon container:

kubectl exec deploy/mastodon-web-app -- /bin/bash

tootctl commands can then be run as normal. Checkout the mastodon docs for more!
