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?

    I was able to get it setup, main things to watch out for:

    • Don’t use the provided docker compose file. Or more precisely don’t build from source and lookup the correct image tag on docker hub first.
    • The documentation was a bit confusing. This isn’t really specific for the Pi but since I was creating a compose file from scratch some of the steps listed didn’t quite explain all of the details.

    I only used it for testing purposes, but performance was fine (on a Pi4 4gb). Note I only ever had one user.
