Overview

What is Misskey?

Misskey is an open-source decentralized social network platform built on the ActivityPub protocol. Your instance can thus communicate with the entire fediverse — with Mastodon at the forefront — while remaining entirely under your control. The feed remains chronological, without advertising algorithms or attention capture.

Misskey stands out for its rich functionality and customization: custom emoji reactions, MFM (advanced note formatting), integrated file Drive, filtered timelines (antennas), pages, widgets, themes, and brand colors. It is one of the most expressive and configurable fediverse software solutions.

Technically, Misskey relies on Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis, with a queue for federation. You install and maintain the application yourself on your VPS (virtual private server) hosted in France, delivered with Docker and a management panel (Portainer, Dockge or Yacht). The VPS is not managed by default, except for a paid infogérance option added to the order.

Host Misskey at DINAO

No managed container for Misskey: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 2 Go / 10 Go minimum).

Misskey needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Misskey 6 questions

Is my instance isolated or connected to others?

You choose. Thanks to ActivityPub, your instance can communicate with Mastodon and the entire fediverse, or remain closed and reserved for your internal community.

Can I customize the appearance?

Yes, extensively. Themes, brand colors, custom emojis, widgets, and pages: Misskey is one of the most customizable fediverse software solutions.

Where are data and media hosted?

On DINAO's French infrastructure, in one of the available data centers. Notes, accounts, and files do not leave the territory.

Is there advertising or a hidden algorithm?

No. Misskey is free software: no advertising, no opaque algorithm, and no data resale. The feed remains chronological and under your control.

Who handles moderation?

DINAO ensures technical operation and provides moderation tools. Content moderation policy remains under your control as the instance administrator.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 4 September 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
