I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

  1. Are there good tutorials out there?
  2. What’s the annual cost just to host yourself?

    A VLAN is not a security feature. Be sure that your firewalls and routers are configured properly and kept up to date.

      Yeah, this is an important point tbh. Vlans alone don’t add any security if your firewall doesn’t do something to prevent it, as your router will happily forward packets to the next vlan. It should be on a DMZ vlan, meaning traffic is allowed in at the firewall but not to any other internal vlans.
