I have a seven year old nephew who I would like to find some computing activities that we could do together. Any ideas?

I recommend to read a tutorial of docker and docker compose. Then the setup of stuff like synapse is a few minutes task. (Non-federation is a simple option in the config file).

After watching Luke Smith I've got an impression that docker and containerization is not a way to go, but maybe would be good for a start

There are certainly some discussions with whatever high level considerations. But for ease of setup it is definitely a way.

Ah, and with a non-federation setup you can skip all the more finicky parts of the installation (DNS, .well-known, bla bla) or just a simple server that needs to be reachable by the client.
