For those self-hosting a lemmy instance, what hardware are you using? I am currently using a small Hetzner VPS. It has 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM and 40GB SSD storage. My instance is currently just in testing with me as the only user, but I plan to use it for close friends or family that may want to try this out, but might not want to sign up for a different instance. My CPU and RAM usage is great so far. My only concern is how large the storage will balloon to over time. I’ve been up for ~20 hours and it’s grown to 1.5G total volume since.

This is... Free? TIL

It is but Oracle can take it back without justification.

Yeah exactly, I wouldn’t recommend it for anything production grade if you’re not paying

Until everyone starts doing it, Oracle can be...fun to deal with

Did you use any specific tags to get the containers running on OC?

[-] infogic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

It’s a regular Ubuntu server running K3s so no specific tags.

I am concerned about scalability, I want to offer an option for many users but I would like to have a parameter hardware vs user counting
