Are there any technical/performance reasons why I couldn’t create an instance for myself and host a Plex server off of the same machine at home?

I’m fairly new to self-hosting in general, so any insight would be appreciated!

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that this would be for a Mastodon instance, not for Lemmy.

    It’s true, it logs a huge amount of stuff due to federation chatter. If you run it with docker, be sure to setup log rotation. I think the recommended lemmy ansible installation set the rotation to 50MB x 4 files. Or just /dev/null it.
