I'm looking to host a lemmy instance for a small subreddit. I I am unsure if the load would be too much for my home network. In the last 30 days we got 1.7k comments, 96 posts, 95k views, with an average unique of 809....
My understanding had been that I'd still be hosting it locally with a VPS but I'm probably misunderstanding that as this the first time I'm looking into this kind of thing. I'll take a look at those VPS services you mentioned. Thank you.
Additionally, it was my understanding that using cloudflare and nginx proxy would protect me from DDOS. Am I misunderstanding that?
I want to set up a lemmy instance as a subreddit alternative for a community I moderate. I would be running the instance on a local machine in my home so I really want to make sure that it can't be traced to my physical location....
Alternatively you can run your own VPN with a VPS (and use it like a reverse proxy), then you can easily control the port forwarding.
This latter part, please forgive me as this is the first time I'm looking into hosting a web service. My plan was to purchase a domain with Google, which would include WHOIS privacy. Is this what you're referring to here?
Yeah, you're definitely right about that. I would still like to prevent that from happening. I'd rather it shows the general area of a place nowhere near where I'm at.
If I’m not mistaken to make your instance available to other people you’d have to set up a reverse proxy. And a correctly set up reverse proxy shouldn’t reveal your IP, only the local IP (127.0.0.1).
Thank you for this information, if this is correct it sounds like this isn't something I need to worry about then.
I'm looking to create a space for a small subreddit that I moderate that has maybe a couple hundred active users at most. I feel like the documentation provided here leaves a lot up to assuming the reader has prior knowledge of hosting a web service. I don't have any such prior knowledge so I'm hoping I can ask here. Please bear...
Thanks a bunch for this! This actually does well enough to answer all of my questions in a way that will allow me to get started! Very much appreciated.

[Question] Is this level of activity too much for my network? Should I use a web host instead running a lemmy instance locally?

[Question] VPN use to keep my instance from pinpointing my house?
