Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

    Yeah how familiar are you with linux?

    You dont run the ansible stuff on the instance itself. You do it from your personal machine or something with ansible installed.

    Though I guess in theory you could run it on itself if you dont have another linux box, or something with ansible installed. https://www.middlewareinventory.com/blog/run-ansible-playbook-locally/

    But I am happy to walk you though the basics of setting up a securing the box.

      I’m not super familiar with Linux, I’ve installed it on machines in the past, I know some very basic command line stuff. I’ve done raspberry pi stuff. I have a mini PC running Ubuntu right now that I am not using for anything so I can use that to run ansible. I probably won’t be able to work on it until after this weekend but once I get an moment to set down and do it I will shoot you a message if I have any questions. I really appreciate your help and I am excited to be a part of the fediverse.
