Moving snac to home server was really easy. Can't imagine moving a mastodon instance this way.

Used tar on data folder β€” as recommended to preserve hardlinks β€”. Wormhole'd the data to my host, untar'ed and started it again.

All I had to do was setup autossh tunnel so that port 8001 in my LXC container pointed to some other port on the existing nginx frontend about 8000km away in Beauharnois πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. It seems suprisingly reliable so far.


iTerm shows on the top left the OVH 2-core cheap instance as front end (canada), three other panes show logs, htop and bmon on container runing snac

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://go.lema.org/santi/p/1745693356.060585 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
