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.
Lemmy is pretty lightweight. My instance is using (in total), very little CPU and like 1.8 Gb of RAM, most of which is postgres.
For example, here’s the last 24 hours of usage for my Lemmy namespace on kubernetes. not much usage at all.
