  • Unlike Twitter, Mastodon seems to rely much more on stable hashtags for discovery. That's probably because there's no "the algorithm" like on Twitter. So with Mastodon you very well can subscribe to hashtags and expect them to get reused over time.

  • I'm not sure I understand the question. By "data" do you mean "configuration"? If you've got multiple devs working on a project (or even if you don't), IMO your Docker Compose or Podman configuration should be in source control. That will allow multiple devs to all collaborate on the config, do code reviews, etc. Then, you can use whatever your deployment method is to effect those changes on your server(s)... manually run Ansible, automatically run CI-triggered deployment, whatever.

  • borgmatic dev here. What I do is run borgmatic locally on each server that needs to get backed up. That's a whole lot easier IMO than setting up network filesystems / rclone or tunnels or screwing around with database dumps yourself, and potentially more reliable. So in your case, I'd run borgmatic on the VPS and then have it connect locally to your MariaDB database using borgmatic's native filesystem support. And then if you also backup the local files with that same VPS instance of borgmatic as well, there's nothing to "merge."

    I'd generally recommend one Borg repository per source server / instance of borgmatic.

    Lastly, my raspberry uses rclone to push to S3 and I don’t want the keys to be accessible on the VPS’s, that’s why I’m trying to have borgmatic only on my raspberry.

    You could always have borgmatic backup to a local Borg repository on the VPS, and then run rclone on your trusted server to copy that repository to S3. Personally I'd probably just put the S3 keys on the VPS and lock it down so that I trust its security, but you do you. 😀
