Hi—I have some free Azure credits and would like to use them to host a personal Lemmy instance. I know Lemmy is containerised, but is there a preferred choice for hosting in Azure—AKS, Azure Container Apps, Container Instances? Also, any guidance on appropriate PostgreSQL configuration—I know there are some options around that.

Also, can anyone point me at what resource utilisation will look like for a Lemmy instance—I imagine disk space is more of a concern that compute usage.

    some free Azure credits

    That’s probably not enough for a 3 node AKS (it used to be though) but even with one or two nodes having a familiar API is a plus. If you’re already experience with k8s or already have an AKS for other dev/fiddle stuff, that would be the obvious solution.

    I haven’t even decided if I’ll run lemmy or kbin. Jerry Bell is currently running both.

      Yeah, you’re right a full three nodes might be outside of my budget. As @[email protected] says I need to account for disk space more than CPU too, so that might be where my money’s best spent.
