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.

  • 1 vCPU 2.9ghz
  • 1 GB DDR4 Memory
  • 25 GB NVMe/SSD Storage

5~ USD a month. Working great for personal use and I'd imagine a handful of users. Hosted in a data center that is very close to me.

Also fwiw: 4 days of lemmy. I am subbed to a bunch of stuff. I've only uploaded like three pictures to my instance... All that space is thumbnails from other instances.

692M    ./postgres
8.0K    ./lemmy-ui
499M    ./pictrs
1.2G    .
1.2G    total

There's my current disk usage. I've gone wild subscribing to just about every community I come across to see how the storage adds up. Right now I've got ~150 communities subbed. We'll see how it goes and when I'll need to expand the storage.

Not too bad... How long has your instance been up? Next thing I want to investigate is the postgrea database itself. On my to-do list.
