I had an idea last night about an awesome potential #Mastodon #Fediverse #ActivityPub capability to take #selfhost #selfhosting to the next level. Could a Mastodon (et al) server be "packaged" tightly enough that it could essentially act as an application on any desktop/laptop computer, or even mobile, so that you could truly "carry your Mastodon instance with you"? The biggest hurdle would be finding a way to ensure your domain name was transportable regardless of physical IP address. #AskFedi

The domain name problem isn't a big deal with dynamic DNS.

If you're not assuming a constant internet connection a bigger issue is receiving notifications (such as new content) that was generated while you were offline.

But I'm curious what advantages you have in mind.
