I have an Oracle Always Free VPS. 4 ARM Ampere A1 vCPUs, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage. Will this be a good fit as a server for a Lemmy instance? Are there any issues with hosting Lemmy on aarch64?

it works fine, depending on popularity of your instance - you might have to add more resources in the future.

as for aarch64 - there are docker images available for lemmy and lemmy-ui

Thanks, I’ll hope to not use docker though - planning to run NixOS, which has a module for it.

Just double checked, the nixpkgs for lemmy-ui and lemmy-server have aarch64-linux support B)

i have not used NixOS yet, not sure how easy to setup it on Oracle OCI, but i guess you will do fine ;)

Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I've heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.

If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).

They deleted mine after 4 days.

Never again.
