Does anyone run their own Lemmy instance on a pi? How was the process of setting it up? Were there any pitfalls? How is performance?

Thanks. Might be useful for there to be a table outling diffrent hardware configs and acceptable user loads as more people people consider creating instances.

its difficult because different users have different usage patterns.
for example, two users who never post and are never online at the same time really take no resources from each other. they are effectively “one” user.

one user who posts 10gb of content a day, and is constantly posting would be equivalent to hundreds of “normal” users.

Yes, sure, didn’t want to complicate the question by adding that :)

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
