Can I rent an 8 core 16gb vps and then put friendica, mbin, mastodon, and lemmy on it? Can I somehow use the same site to login to all of them or would it be like m.site, l.site, etc.

I use a hypervisor? enhance.com rnow to control my wordpress sites, can I still monitor/backup the servers with enhance while manually setting up fediverse instances? I could setup roles like nginx, mariadb, through it and when I do that it lets me easily setup, backup, and migrate websites to different servers I lose this functionality if I dont set up those roles through the panel. So I was wondering if I can set up those roles and then just setup the websites manually through ssh following the guides. Do they all use nginx other than friendica?

Interested in friendica, mbin, lemmy, mastodon, and peertube (going to rent another server and more storage eventually if I do that

I have a similar setup with around 5 federated services (Lemmy/bookwyrm/mastodon(GoToSocial)/pixelfed/Peertube/etc... and it works well. The slowest component is the internet connection by far. Yunohost makes it easy but a couple of the more niche services are on docker. All self hosted on an old PC and a pi.

Just a note, these are all less than 5 users and my setup is not designed for anything more than the family. Also of all the services, Mastodon base install was by far the most resource intensive of all of them. It's definitely made for more than 100+ users and quite quickly used up all my hard drive. Their caching system needs some work if I'm honest. After self hosting for about half a year, I went with GoToSocial, which saved me 100s of gigabytes. It's no faster or slower but the same clients work with it. It's basically designed for less than 10 users which is nice. No issues after about a year.
