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.
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.
