I recently purchased a NAS and was considering installing an instance on it. but being that this would be on my home network, i'll probably cap it at like 50 users or something. I found one post where someone was saying that the RAM and CPU usage was pretty low, but what about network usage. My NAS also runs Plex and i'd hate for my max 30Mbps to be overrun by the lemmy instance.

Anybody got the data on whether or not it would be viable?

Yeah, no problem. I just recently purchased my NAS (two days ago). The original intention was just doing some cloud backups, plex, and a home surveillance system. So I'm just looking for other things to use it for and thought that Lemmy might be a good thing to try out.

I haven't used docker at all yet, so I'll look into it. I use linux and have done a lot of distro hopping, so I'm pretty tech literate, although I don't know coding very well. So lots to learn and implement. Plex is the only thing I've really done any port forwarding on, and I'm sure I didnt do it "right".
