How to use elk as default UI like Mozilla.social? (alien.top)

I am want to setup a mastodon instance on DigitalOcean for a Uni student society. How do I integrate the elk ui like Mozilla.social?

Should I have elk on my domain root and mastodon on the sub domain? How would that impact SEO? I don't want the sub domain to show up on google search results.

I checked mozilla's github repos, but I can't find any information on how they deployed elk ui with mastodon.

Upvoting because using alternative default UIs to the Mastodon default is a great idea. Because the Mastodon default UI is ... dated.

if you think about installing https://github.com/elk-zone/elk I recommend also taking a look at https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy

I like both interfaces

I don’t know about elk, but I do know TangerineUI indicates how to install it as an additional theme or even as the sole theme of a Mastodon instance. Maybe this could give a hint on how to do the same with elk?
