I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running
It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi
Do yourself a favour and don’t host it, yet. Lemmy is not quality software. You have 3 optiona here:
- pay someone to take care of it for you
- learn more about computer management and computers in general, first; then host it
- ignore the first two options, which will inevitably lead to your instance crashing and burning
Best of luck!
Crashing and burning would be similar to most my other projects
I mean… You’d learn so much. Crash and burn maybe, but call it a win for all the knowledge you gain in the process.
Crashing and burning (in a non-production environment) is an excellent motivator to develop necessary skills; being unafraid to break things and fix them when they inevitably break helps you get a deeper understanding of how the systems work, for what it’s worth.
And crashing and burning in a production environment is an excellent thing to laugh at in 20 years
