Rather than setting up a VPS like some of you is there a reason I couldn't run this on my existing home unraid server?
Yes im doing something similar but you should probably mask your home IP in some way using something like Cloudflare tunnels. Keep in mind the whole idea behind federation is you are advertising yourself to the fediverse.
No, you can run it on your own homelab just fine. If you don't have it already, you just need a (usually free) dynamic subdomain so your instance have a normal URL instead of IP.
Yes, but you'll need to do all the extra stuff required to get a domain name working.
You can run it on Unraid using docker compose fine.
