I'm planning to migrate this mastodon instance to docker. Here's a related blog post: https://mattburke.dev/migrating-native-mastodon-install-to-docker/

  Adventures in Mastodon Self-Hosting: Migrate to docker
  
  from Matt Burke
  
  When I first installed mastodon on my little Digital Ocean droplet, I believed that “a docker container is just a lightweight virtual machine”. Given how small my droplet was, I didn’t think it had enough room for any kind of VM, no matter how lightweight. I’ve since learned that docker containers are not virtual machines, though thats a useful approximation when you’re just getting started with them. Anyway, there’s very very little performance difference between a native install and a container, and they’re much easier to work with. Here’s my notes on the process of moving an existing installation to docker. Keep in mind this is a single-user instance and I don’t care about downtime.
