Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

The lemmy.world admin said above that their instance currently takes up less than 100GB

Though this will accrue over time I suppose.

But for self hosting? You should be good for a long long time. The only pictures stored are the ones you upload, the rest is just text.
