I wrote up a bunch of the lessons I learned while trying to get the official mastodon image running in docker. It ended up being quite long. Sorry.
I think the audience for this post is mostly the mastodon devs. Maybe they can help answer why some of this stuff is the way it is. But if you're a person who is interested in errata around docker, rails and mastodon, it's for you too!

Multiple people were able to get a mastodon instance running locally with my modified branch. So definitely try that out if you're interested.

My next milestone is to get 2 separate mastodon's running locally and have them talk to each other. We'll probably take several detours into things like loading a bunch of test users and finding a way to monitor the ActivityPub chatter.
