Minimum system requirements for lemmy instance (discuss.tchncs.de)

I would like to host a small instance for me and my friends (<10). I was thinking about buying a small single board arm computer to host it. What would be the minimum system requirements for this and do you have recommendations besides the raspberry pi.

Saw in some post, CPU/RAM isn't an issue for a small instance, only store if there's a lot of images posted, but only if posted on that instance.
Maybe database could be an issue, if there's many posts
