linuxserver/mastodon
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones..
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/mastodon:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Version Tags
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
| Tag | Available | Description |
|---|---|---|
| latest | ✅ | Stable releases. |
| develop | ✅ | Pre-releases only. |
| glitch | ✅ | glitch-soc fork releases. |
Application Setup
We provide aliases for the common commands that execute in the correct context so that environment variables from secrets are available to them:
-
To generate keys for
SECRET_KEY_BASE&OTP_SECRETrundocker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash lscr.io/linuxserver/mastodon generate-secretonce for each. -
To generate keys for
VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY&VAPID_PUBLIC_KEYrundocker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash lscr.io/linuxserver/mastodon generate-vapid
Both of the secret generation aliases above can be run without any other setup having been carried out.
- To use
tootctlyou can run something likedocker exec -it lscr.io/linuxserver/mastodon /tootctl <command>
Using tootctl requires you to complete the initial Mastodon configuration first.
This container requires separate postgres and redis instances to run.
We support all of the official environment variables for configuration. In place of adding them all to your run/compose you can use an env file such as this example from the upstream project.
For more information check out the mastodon documentation.
Running separate sidekiq instances
It is currently only supported to run a single queue per container instance or all queues in a single container instance.
All containers must share the same `/config`` mount and be on a common docker network.
Strict reverse proxies
This image automatically redirects to https with a self-signed certificate. If you are using a reverse proxy which validates certificates, you need to disable this check for the container.
Usage
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
Ports (-p)
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
80 |
Port for web frontend |
443 |
Port for web frontend |

Miscellaneous Options
| Parameter | Function |
|---|
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it mastodon /bin/bash
