Should I host a Lemmy instance on an Oracle Always Free VPS?

it works fine, depending on popularity of your instance - you might have to add more resources in the future.

as for aarch64 - there are docker images available for lemmy and lemmy-ui

Thanks, I’ll hope to not use docker though - planning to run NixOS, which has a module for it.

Just double checked, the nixpkgs for lemmy-ui and lemmy-server have aarch64-linux support B)

i have not used NixOS yet, not sure how easy to setup it on Oracle OCI, but i guess you will do fine ;)
