Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I’m considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I’m looking for some guidance on specs.
Can anyone who’s currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:
- specs on the hardware / VPS that’s hosting your instance
- how many users / posts that’s supporting
- what the system load looks like with the above
- if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you’re seeing
I previously posted this in the wrong community, and one of the responses asked how many users I’m expecting. To preemptively answer - I don’t know. I’m just trying to get an idea of relative sizing.
Thank you!!
not the one you were replying to, but I’m 2/3 thru switching my servers over to the 1L form factor and am liking it. it’s amazing how much compute can be crammed into a tiny space these days.
