Hello,
i run a Mastodon instance under a domain that is pre-setup by a Hoster, but i want full control so i bought a own VPN and setup mastodon after a Tutorial (https://zap-hosting.com/guides/docs/vserver-linux-mastodon/) it worked like a charm, but…
i cant Configure the Webserver, domain and Certbot to my Domain because i first want to make sure the Mastodon Instance is perfectly working under my IP before i set it up with the Domain and replace my old Server
How do you do that? i started all Services but my IP still only shows a 403 Forbidden Error…
Use a temporary domain from a service like afraid.org, or use a subdomain. I doubt IP address will work
