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.

    For a basic personal server you really don’t need much. I mess around with one on Azure using a Standard_B1s VM (1vCPU/1GB RAM) and it ran fine. Cost like $7.28 a month.
