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.
I find that ebay used desktops and laptops excellent for this kind of thing. You can find used Dell Optiplexes for under 100 USD on auction, if NUCS are too expensive.
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
