Lemmy on a raspberry pi (self.selfhosted)

Does anyone run their own Lemmy instance on a pi? How was the process of setting it up? Were there any pitfalls? How is performance?

[Edit] So a lot of testing around. Compiling from scratch, etc, etc...

So far i have tried

installing lemmy using rootless docker (on 0.17.3)
compiling the image 0.18 docker image as arm

rootless docker did not work well for me. lots of systemd issues and i gave up after running into a lot of issues. I tried rootless docker for security reasons. minimal permissions, etc.

When trying to compile the latest lemmy image in arm, i ran into issues with muslrust not having an arm version. It might be worth investigating rewriting the docker file from 0.17.3 to work with 0.18.0 but i haven't investigated that fully yet! I tried compiling the latest image because i wanted to be able to use the latest features

At the moment, I'm trying to set lemmy to run under bare metal. Im currently attempting to compile lemmy under arm. If that works, i'll start setting up .service files to start up lemmy and pictrs.

Oh wait, I forgot, compose .yaml syntax is (almost) the same as Ansible, so no need for Ansible. Thanks for pointing to the docker images. I'll start messing about with those. Still need to pick an fqdn for those instances. Do I want to use lemmy.my.domain or direct my.domain. (as it's by all means mine anyway)
