Nice! Would you be open to have other users there too, or do you prefer to keep it a single-user instance? I’m looking around for smaller instances to use for a change 😄
Lemmy’s consuming close to 19GiB of RAM. CPU is less critical, that only occasionally spikes above 10% on 2 cores. Disk size of 60GiB is enough with a regular cleanup.
EDIT: turns out It was actually using ~9.5 GiB, the rest was linux buff/cache which Proxmox reports as used. Moving pict-rs off SLED to postgres and tuning postgres a bit, I was able to bring it down to ~2.6 GiB.
I learned today PieFed should be much leaner, 1-2 GiBs only for some multi-user instances. Such a big difference blew my mind, I might have to make the switch. Feel free to try it out (and let me know how it went :D )
It is, surprised me as well. It’s been through a couple of reboots already, no noticeable build-up, the amount is pretty constant. This pushes the PieFed switch near the top of the list, it seems PieFeds load is drastically less.

Sadly I’m hitting RAM limits at the moment, so won’t be opened up to other users until memory prices come down :)
Ah, that makes sense! That RAM shortage is really a pain…
what specs are needed to run such an instance?

Thanks for replying. I have only 16GB ram. Plenty of disk space (240GB ssd), CPU is okay. Just the ram’s the problem, can’t expand it either.

19 GiB or RAM? Oh wow, that’s a lot!

Let us know how it goes on !piefed_meta@piefed.social !
will do! :)
