I have a native install on a Debian LXC - 16GB storage, 2GB RAM and 1 core, that I’ve been running for over 2 years behind nginx. Doesn’t need much. If you want to record via Jibri, you need more juice. I will be redoing my install as they now offer an all in one Docker stack with recording capabilities. With the native install it is recommended to have a separate Ubuntu 18.04 server for Jibri just for recording, which is a hassle and outdated.

I haven’t begun the Docker setup yet, but I imagine it has to be a more pleasant experience to admin.

I have the 4GB model. It’s a really nice little board for the price. Currently have Debian 12 installed. I have the Orange Pi camera module and am using it in conjunction with the board, OpenCV, and a wild bird model data set to detect different kinds of birds outside my window at the bird feeder. I don’t have a desktop installed so I can’t speak to that. I’d say judging by the pics it’s about 50% accurate so far. The graininess of the photos from the camera module and the distance from the bird feeder have a lot to do with the poor performance. Using a higher end USB camera should help with this.

A big bonus with this board is it has 4 temp sensors, and you will need them. Like all OPi boards, heat is an issue. You will need sinks and active cooling if you would like to use this for extended periods of time without roasting it.

You are advocating for a single point of failure.

I’m interested in this as well. Mastodon has RAILS_ENV=production /home/mastodon/live/bin/tootctl preview_cards remove and RAILS_ENV=production /home/mastodon/live/bin/tootctl media remove but I don’t know if something equivalent exists for lemmy.

What’s stopping your own home instance from doing the same?

For mobile it’s the front end for Invidious, Clipious.

Check out Droid-ify. I’ve had better luck with it.

It’s necessary with the way I have it setup

Here are some revised configs I put together as the docs were insufficient if it helps https://git.minnix.dev/minnix/lemmy_configs
