I got the cheapest VPS from Hetzner which is around 5 EUR.

quicksand@lemmy.world 10 months agoWhat kind of specs do you need to run a personal instance? I’d like to, but I don’t really want to invest in a bunch of computer stuff right now

Eh, as long as it can run Linux, >2gb of RAM, and >50GB of storage, even a raspberry pi can host Lemmy.

No way! I’ve got a r pi 4 buried somewhere in my garage. Gonna have to try to set up my own instance. Is there a starter guide for people of limited intelligence? How’d you get yours set up?

Lemmy Easy Deploy has ARM64 support.
After you got lemmy up and running on your raspberry pi, the next hurdle is making it accessible from the internet so other lemmy instances can federate with your instance. There are several way to do that, such as routing getting a static ip address from your ISP and forwarding port 80 and 443 to your pi from your router config, using clodflare tunnel, etc.
Just ask the selfhost community if you hit a roadblock. They love getting more people to join their rank.
