I kind of want to self host a lemmy instance. What are the requirements for a single user lemmy instance?

    Depends on how many communities do you subscribe too and how much activity they have.

    I’m running my single user instance subscribed to 20 communities on a 2c/4g vps who also hosts my matrix server and a bunch of other stuff and right now I mostly see peaks from 5/10% of CPU and RAM at 1.5GB

    I have been running for 15months and the docker volumes total 1.2GBs A single pg_dump for the lemmy database in plain text is 450M

      For the whole stack in the past 16 hours

      # docker-compose stats

      I subscribe to a few more communities and my DB dump is about 3GB plain text, but same story, box sits at 5-15% most of the time.

        Put up some docker stats in a reply in case you missed it on the refresh

        These stats are fine and all, but storage and network is what’s going to get you in the end if you open it up to anyone and everyone and it becomes popular.
