I run my own Mastodon instance. My wife uses it too. It is open to my family, but none have moved this way yet - more of a “not using mastodon” than “not your mastodon”. Easy to link to other instances. I use a docker based instance of mastodon with the db and nginx running on an Azure VM running Ubuntu. Easy to patch, and update. I spent days getting it running right (learning, tearing down, rinse, repeat) but now it is a few minutes a month maintaining. Let me know if you have any questions.

I’m a dev manager in the exact opposite position - I don’t want to move away from devops activities, but rather own them all up. I want complete control over the pipelines. I want as close to 100% unit test, code coverage and integration tests as possible. I want to fully automate deployment (and rollback, if hell breaks loose). Clearly, I want to work with my devops team to ensure near perfect uptime, round-the-clock monitoring, etc. - but definitely not pushing it to someone else or another team. Even better if I have devops members that report to me.
I’ve been thinking of diving into the Swift deep end myself. Good luck to you!
