Selfhosted

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.

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?

You are right -- I completely forgot about those, thanks.

I would wonder how well it would perform.

Something between "usable" to "a complete nightmare" -- depending of how popular the lemmy instance is. Which would scare new users away, leaving it as a "cool kids only" thing. Then again, theres the fact that the power draw is little to none, which is very important regarding most self-hosting stuff -- "can't use it if I can't maintain it".
