Pleroma still requires PostgreSQL which is an overkill for individuals/families. Instead try GoToSocial which is just a golang binary + sqlite db file: https://gotosocial.org/

it is able to run properly on a pi so the performance is not a problem

I'm pinning my hopes on GSL - already had to migrate my Pleroma from one server to another because whilst it is less hungry than Mastodon, it is still -quite- hungry.
(The number of "X doesn't work with GSL" issues is mildly worrying, and migrating from Pleroma to GSL is going to make me insane. But hope, nonetheless.)
That page is basically empty. Why is there nothing on it, not even a link to the project?
That's a really unhelpful landing page. Finding their git repo wasn't too difficult. https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial
Thanks, I found it after a bit of searching too, but I can imagine most people not bothering. I tried the project and couldn't get their Docker image to work either, looks like the server isn't responding to HTTP requests properly.
> which is an overkill for individuals/families
if your use case is individuals/family then telegram/whatsapp/imessage groups are more than enough.
Not if your audience is the fediverse, but you only want to provide hosting for a few users?
If you host email and a family name DNS/domain - that's still "internet scale" with 3 users?
Even the lightweight server options are very heavy (resources, install process, and/or UI clutter) or are a pain to deploy.
Does a single user server exist? I don't want to host for others, but would like to interact with a few people that have migrated from Twitter.
Are there any resource light servers that can be deployed as a container with a single config or env file that doesn't require many manual commands against a container instance?
Ops is good q, based on my observation, most of these implementations has a Dockerfile at best, CloudFormation/K8s is very rarely considered. And probably bc where this community was originated from, Amazon is pretty much suggested against.
