This is how I installed on a Linode VPS with an OTP Akkoma release.

Setting up a Linode "Nanode" ready for Akkoma:

How to set up your VPS on Linode

DNS setup to point your (sub)domain to the VPS

ssh key generation/upload and remote login

Then installing Akkoma itself:

The installation of the Back-end server

Certbot setup

Front-end setup (AkkomaFE: the web page you use to interact)

Setting up email (for user confirmations and notifications)

Creating your first user

A couple of small tweaks I do so my instance runs smoother

enabling backports on a Debian VPS, to get…

adjusting the swap priority so it doesn't just sit there full.

Updating your Akkoma instance

Walks you through the update process for an OTP installation. Check the forum for releases:

Akkoma Releases

Some pretty themes for your instance!
