Are there any technical/performance reasons why I couldn’t create an instance for myself and host a Plex server off of the same machine at home?

I’m fairly new to self-hosting in general, so any insight would be appreciated!

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that this would be for a Mastodon instance, not for Lemmy.

    There’s no context to the question?

    At face value, no, there’s no technical reason you can’t run a Plex server and a lemmy instance on one computer :)

      Oh shoot, I thought I included that this would be for a personal Mastodon instance.

      I was mainly curious to know if running both would somehow affect the performance of the other.
