i'm currently hosting an instance for about 20 users on a dual-core epyc-7002 based cloud vm with 2 gb of ram and currently a 50 gb ssd volume. memory tends to sit around halfway and total disk usage is 14 GB, of which it's 4.5 GB for the picture server and 2.3 GB for the database for now, i'm monitoring both in case upgrades are needed. cpu usage is quite low, usually sits between 5-10% and never went above 25%. it was the highest during a spambot attack when they tried to register hundreds of accounts -- speaking of, enable captcha (broken on 0.18.0) or set registrations to approve-only.
i'm paying about $10-15 per month currently, which includes a cache to keep the instance snappy.
