 I used the instructions from [[https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/install/|Mastodon]] and adopted it to fit better for me :)

+mv /home/mastodon /opt
+usermod -d /opt/mastodon mastodon
+</code>
+Start redis
+<code>systemctl enable --now redis</code>
+===== Preparing the DB =====

+systemctl start postgresql.service
+/usr/bin/postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql
+sudo -u postgres psql
+</code>
+<code>
+CREATE USER mastodon CREATEDB;
+\q
+</code>
+===== Setting up Mastodon =====
+<code>
+su - mastodon
+</code>
+Use git to download the latest stable release of Mastodon:
+<code>
+git clone https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon.git live && cd live
+git checkout $(git tag -l | grep -v 'rc[0-9]*$' | sort -V | tail -n 1)
+</code>
+Now to install Ruby and JavaScript dependencies:
+<code>
+bundle config deployment 'true'
+bundle config without 'development test'
+bundle install -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
+yarn install --pure-lockfile
+</code>
+Run the interactive setup wizard:
+<code>
+RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mastodon:setup
+</code>
+===== Setting up nginx =====
+Copy the prepared nginx.conf into the nginxc config-dir. Change the hostname and the root-dir.
+<code>
+cp /opt/mastodon/live/dist/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/mastodon.conf
+sed -i 's:/home/mastodon/live/public;:/opt/mastodon/live/public;:g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/mastodon.conf
+sed -i 's/example.com/social.server17.net/g' /etc/nginx/conf.d/mastodon.conf
+</code>
+Ensure that the firewall is configured for http and https
+<code>
+firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
+firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent
+firewall-cmd --reload
+</code>
+Get a certifcate for your host/hostname
+<code>
+certbot --nginx -d social.server17.net
+</code>
+===== Setting up systemd services =====
+copy the files
+<code>
+cp /opt/mastodon/live/dist/mastodon-*.service /etc/systemd/system/
+</code>
+and edit the files
+<code>
+sed -i 's:/home/mastodon/:/opt/mastodon/:g' /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-*
+sed -i 's:/opt/mastodon/.rbenv/shims/bundle:/opt/mastodon/live/bin/bundle:g' /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-*
+</code>
+now relaod the systemd and start evertything
+<code>
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable --now mastodon-web mastodon-sidekiq mastodon-streaming
+</code>
+Maybe something went wrong with the install of the bundler gem and the services are not starting. Check if the gem is installed or just install it.
+<code>
+# su - mastodon
+cd live/
+RAILS_ENV=production  gem install bundler
+</code>
+====== Tuning ======
+===== Start tuning sidekiq =====
+sidekiq is handling multiple queues. Each of them can run as an own process. Per process you should use a max. of 25 threads.
