I have an Oracle Always Free VPS. 4 ARM Ampere A1 vCPUs, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage. Will this be a good fit as a server for a Lemmy instance? Are there any issues with hosting Lemmy on aarch64?

    it works fine, depending on popularity of your instance - you might have to add more resources in the future.

    as for aarch64 - there are docker images available for lemmy and lemmy-ui

      Thanks, I’ll hope to not use docker though - planning to run NixOS, which has a module for it.

      Just double checked, the nixpkgs for lemmy-ui and lemmy-server have aarch64-linux support B)

        i have not used NixOS yet, not sure how easy to setup it on Oracle OCI, but i guess you will do fine ;)
