Got a #RaspberryPi 2B that I don't use anymore. Could that host a private #mastodon #instance just for me an few friends?
Toot yourself people, you can even boost this status if you feel crazy enough
@tbouron In my experience, the latency gets pretty crazy on rasppis when they start doing DB heavy stuff. I tried to set up a Quassel instance on one for my IRC stuff, and it got to ~2-5 second latency pretty fast. Tolerable, but pretty crappy.
Storage and ethernet sharing the USB bus makes it pretty tricky. It'd be fun, though. I'm curious what benchmarks you'd get.
@ikea_femme Aye, I know the ethernet and usb port share the same bus but for an instance with only a few users (talking about 10 max) I would hope it would be sufficient.
Although, I haven't really looked at the architecture of #mastodon yet so what I'm saying here is total speculation for now 😁
Bottom line is, needs to be tested!
