Oh, hey, happy one-year anniversary to me since I moved to https://social.petertoushkov.eu 🥳

It's been the coolest thing to have my own microblogging place after all those years of experimenting with personal websites and various social networks. I think, because of the strong community, the experience wouldn't have been any less enjoyable if I had stayed with one of the major instances, but it's been nothing but smooth sailing thanks to the wonderful service of @mastohost

This is the personal Mastodon instance of Petar Toushkov @cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.eu

^{Mastodon hosted on social.petertoushkov.eu}

I'm currently trying to migrate a #mastodon server from masto.host to self-hosted and having problems (I already shut down the server, so I'm posting from an old account).

Does somebody know which files in the backup are which in the mastodon migration guide?

I'm also having trouble with restoring the PostgreSQL backup ('pg_restore: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "mastodon"').

Thanks for any help!

(It would be nice if someone could boost this, because given that this is an old account, I don't think many people would see this post otherwise.)
