Self hosted instances (lemmy.world)

I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud server to host it? How can federation work if I only have <10 users tops? Anything else I might need to know?

that should be easily enough. My instance after a month and subbed to 120 communities is using about 1-2gb of disk space. 18.3 did a ton of work in performance.
