Self hosted instances (lemmy.world)

I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud server to host it? How can federation work if I only have <10 users tops? Anything else I might need to know?

It's thru pictrs, but yes. This is a solid guide that explains how to do it out of the box without migration. https://literature.cafe/post/67882 <- (copy this link into the search of your instance, it'll federate it over)

Is this ok to do for an instance already running?

copying the link to the search bar just shows me this post in search. What is it supposed to do?
