## Basic usage

1. Set up Docker Swarm and [`abra`]
2. Deploy [`coop-cloud/traefik`]
3. `abra app new mastodon`
4. `abra app YOURAPPDOMAIN config` - be sure to change `DOMAIN` to something that resolves to
   your Docker swarm box. Install the npm package webpush to create VAPID keys `npm install web-push -g && web-push generate-vapid-keys`. 
5. `abra app YOURAPPDOMAIN deploy --no-domain-poll`. App will fail for now.
6. `abra app mastodon run streaming rake db:setup`
7. Open the configured domain in your browser to finish set-up. To make an admin account `abra app mastodon run web "bin/tootctl accounts create coolusername --email helo@autonomic.zone --confirmed --role admin"`
