I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users to help out and for the experience. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle? I could restrict uploading of media if that would make a considerable impact.

Dell Inspiron 15-5000 CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U, 2 cores, 4 threads RAM: 8GB Storage: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB

    I’ve got all my home services routed through ZeroTier to Nginx Proxy Manager on a cloud VM, so my home IP is pretty well hidden. As long as nobody is uploading illegal content to your instance you should be fine though.

      Dope, I’ll look into that as well. I think im going to start with cloudflare tunnels. I’ve heard of it, but never used it. I think this may be my first appropriate use case.
