I've just added this documentation page, which talks about why you, as a user, might want to run your own Mastodon server, and what that would require

docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run

Let me know what you think!

@Gargron That looks good!

Do you know if this is possible to run on a Raspberry Pi 3 model B at all?

@Gargron You might wanna find a Docker image of mastodon and run the server on something like Digital Ocean. Its very quit and easy :)

@Gargron I think the document should also mention the work required to maintain the personal server.

There are updates that require manual intervention, a small server will not last forever and at some point you will have to migrate, for example.

In the end it is always the classic trade off, control vs convenience.
