@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman We had a chat here yesterday, and the poster is running a Single user instance, on mastodon software.
Four cores in a vM dedicated to this beast. Argh!
It seems to be a ball of Spaghetti, from my un-educated expectator, User view. He posted Stats and it showed quite a bit of resource use, for that single user.
Some people run Pleroma on a Raspberry Pi, although I would rather use an older PC box.
@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman Interesting, I just visited yor front door. 😃

I would think an older machine or laptop is less grief too.

If you need help let me know. I could probably set that up in no time since I know my way around linux pretty well and web servers in general.
Thank you! For you it would be easy, yes, as you already are comfortable in both the OS and with similar software, mastodon.
Might be a good chance to see how real the comments I heard about the Pleroma installation guides being friendly are. I have spare hardware, an empty new SSD, and it's just a question of deciding to jump into this for fun some week.
But it would start with a linux learning curve, the underlining foundation to Pleroma. WE will see - I have been thinking of starting some writing again, that would be nice.
Agreed if we are talking about a production website.
But if he sets it up knowing its going to be a shit show until he learns, and likely will loose some data along the way, then hey, let the guy play with a website :)

I should mention having been an Irix user a looong time ago. 😛
And loving it, as a user only, we never touched the boxen.
