I’m interested in possibly hosting my own Lemmy instance - just for my own account. I was thinking of hosting it on Raspberry Pi (possibly the 1GB Pi 4 B), but I couldn’t find much for definitive information on what the hardware requirements would be for such an instance to know if this is even possible. How much storage is required? Is the Pi 4 CPU powerful enough? How much memory?
I’ve got a Vultr VPS with 1GB of ram with just Lemmy and a reverse proxy. RAM usage is right below 50% most of the time. I never looked when I first spun it up, so no idea how quickly usage is going up, or if it is going up at all.
