This video takes you through getting your domain (Cloudflare), transactional email (Mailgun), and cloud storage (Amazon's S3) prepared before installing Mastodon on Reclaim Cloud (https://reclaim.cloud). Once you are ready, head over to the "Installing Mastodon on Reclaim Cloud" video: https://youtu.be/p7yheXToO4c

So, what below is what's covered in this video by tiemstamp:

*1:40 -4:15 Spinning up a Debian 11.5 VPS on Reclaim Cloud with public IPv4 address and at least 4 GB of CPU ( I would not run it on less, even if a personal instance, and for a community instance that is a good starting point, but you'll probably need more).
*4:15-6:50 Managing DNS for Domain in Cloudflare
*6:50-17:00 Creating a transactional email account on Mailgun and adding DNS records to Cloudflare
*17:00-27:30 Setting up an AWS S3 bucket for cloud storage of media files.
*27:30-29:30 Pointing server IPv4 in Reclaim Cloud to domain in Cloudflare.
