I am thinking about hosting a single user instance in which I could have communities on a Raspberry Pi 4. Do you think it is doable? Asking because if not I’ll just get a VPS.
Yes, but you will need to put the database and static file storage on a USB or network storage device as opposed to the SD card. The networking is going to be the hard part.
I replaced the SD card with a 2TB SSD connected via USB, so that should probably work then.
The networking will indeed be confusing. I am already using the Pi to run a Nextcloud server, Jellyfin server, and a few other smaller applications. I imagine it is possible to also have a reverse proxy on the same machine?
Also the join-lemmy site and install docs keep giving me a 502 bad gateway so something in production must be wrong right now, I guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

Yeah, if you already have the routing and such set up for nextcloud/etc then it should be simple to add another reverse proxy to lemmy.
