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!!
Proxmox itself is pretty lightweight, and yes, i’m also running other VMs and LXC containers (not much, about 9 containers with some lite services like teamspeak server, couple of bots, deluge and hestiacp, prometheus, k3s for testing and “vdi” in vm). Actually - i’m running docker - inside LXC containers. Not the prettiest way to do it, but it works fine
