What does it take to spin up an instance and federate? Can I just grab a docker image and go with some cloud Linux instance? What resources are we looking at for what headcount of users / level of engagement? (ie, posts and or connections per minute, etc)

I run a small instance for a few of our staff and a couple of rss/bot accounts.

I use a small DigitalOcean droplet that installs the software automatically. Very easy to run with a small number of people.

Running on a very small server. 4 GB Memory / 80 GB Disk . Works well.

I might not be your best example though
