What do I need to have in order to run my own instance? (beehaw.org)

The documentation give clear instructions for installing and setting up a Lemmy instance, but it doesn't really tell me what I need to do so beyond the implication that I need some computer running Linux.

I have a QNAP NAS device which is running a flavor of linux; how much storage space is recommended for a public instance? Do I need my own website?

I was thinking along the lines of a deployment platform that would be scalable as it seems there have been reports of scaling issues recently. (Un)fortunately I work on Kubernetes all day every day for my work so the complexity isn't the main issue, it's just carving out some time to work on it.

Oh yeah a Helm chart for Lemmy would be sick! Some of the more popular instances are in definite need of it from what I've seen.
