Howdy folks! I spun up my own Mastodon today and quickly realized there was a 500 character limit to posts. I googled around, found some good guides and decided to make a quick bash script for it. Replace the below values inside the carrots with your settings. ``` #!/bin/bash -x docker exec -it mastodon_web sed -i 's/500/<desired_#_of_chars>/g' /opt/mastodon/app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/components/compose_form.js docker exec -it mastodon_web sed -i 's/500/<desired_#_of_chars>/g' /opt/mastodon/app/validators/status_length_validator.rb docker exec -it mastodon_web bundle exec rails assets:precompile docker container restart <mastodon_web_container> <mastodon_streaming_container> <mastodon_sidekiq_container> ```
