Edit: Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions. I decided to create a new #VM in #Proxmox and install #Yunohost so I can try a few different options and see which ones I like and end up using to migrate my current accounts.

Edit 2:
Having #Yunohost behind #Pfsense #Haproxy is giving me trouble, not sure how to proxy_pass on it to avoid issues with double reverse proxy. I will try to run my instances directly from Docker and see if that goes better.

-– Original post —
I am fairly new to the Fediverse, but have been in IT and homelab for over a decade, I am thinking or migrating from my current instances and just creating my own instances of Kbin and Mastodon for my personal use only.

Any suggestions or ideas?
Any reasons you would not recommend it?
Security concerns?

Besides Mastodon and Kbin, any other fediverses I should self-host (I thought of Lemmy but it seems I’d be able to subscribe and interact with it just fine through kbin. Also thought of peertube, but unsure or pros/cons since I have not yet even signed up on one of their instances).

Also, 1 shared VM for all of the instances, or 1 for each? I am considering if full VM or LXC, the LXC would be faster and consume less resources but I’m concerned with the security of the host.

Anyway, those are my thoughts, would like some feedback.

    Is it similarly possible to migrate from lemmy or kbin instances akin to Mastodon?

      @Trekman10 not sure on kbin but I don’t think so. On lemmy it’s not possible for sure. But that’s why I want to begin now, I only have a few comments on each, and this is my first post. I was part of the twitter and now reddit migrations.

        I am happy with both this (my account’s) lemmy instance and the Mastodon instances I’ve found, and similarly I joined each during the exodus from Twitter and Reddit, back in November and now June respectively.
