Asklemmy - what specs for a self-hosted Lemmy instance?

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

Thank you!!

This is like asking how long a rope is.

It all depends on how many users you have making requests daily.

If the instance is only for you then you could host it at home on a $50 Raspberry Pi.

please use /c/[email protected] for general support questions (or for this one you could also ask in one of the selfhosted communities.)

i’m deleting this per asklemmy rule 3.
