Mobilizon on Shared Hosting

Hello All,

I just started a small server for my university college, hoping to get Mobilizon running on it. But then I realised I would need full root access to get it working! Is there any work-around for this? I was quite dissappointed, as the advertising for the server never mentioned needing root access. I then tried using docker but I don’t think my server has the necessary bits installed. I think I will have to settle for Hubzilla now, which I was planning on using anyway but not without Mobilizon.

If there is no workaround, what is the cheapest server to get Mobilizon on for a small group of students? Would I need a VPS, or just something with Yunohost or similar to get it installed?

Thank you so much in advance for any help.

Best wishes,
Tom
