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?

    Because it’s cheaper (barely but still), smaller (fits right into the Pi and its case) and more convenient (no adapter). When one just got a Pi that might even be sold with a microSD then they’ll use that.

    I’m not arguing it’s the right thing for data intense usage but the “why” IMHO is pretty obvious.

      Come on, it’s a raspberry pi not an iphone. Those things are for tinkerers who live by “if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is”.
