I am currently in the process of deploying mastodon instance for my family.

Problem
nginx won't start due to no "ssl_certificate"

Received error message
nginx: [emerg] no "ssl_certificate" is defined for the "listen ... ssl" directive in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mastodon.conf

Expected behaviour
nginx starts instance on HTTP so that I can continue to "Acquiring a SSL certificate" part of the installation guide.

I was able to get SSL certificate by first commenting out port 437 part, then get a certificate and then enable the port 437 part.

Now I get a gif of a very cute mammoth having frustrations.

Does Postfix satisfy as SMTP server?

Mastodon pre-requisites list SMTP as a dependency, but I already have Postfix on my server?
Should I replace SMTP with Postfix
OR
install SMTP along with Postfix
OR
make no more changes and proceed with installation?

#smtp #postfix #server

@murtezayesil If Postfix is a SMTP server then you can use it
