Not sure how relevant will this be to your question but the admin of the instance I'm on is quite transparent with the server performance etc. and perhaps it'll provide some insight. Also quite interesting was the fact that storage itself is cheap but the bandwidth fees are not (from the comments).
I still haven't figured out how to correctly link to posts on other instances so I'm pasting a direct link hoping a friendly bot finds it and updates it: https://lemmy.zip/post/509553
Thanks a lot for sharing. It really contains valuable information.
I'm running 1 vCPU, 2GB of RAM and 25GB of disk at the moment for my tiny instance (we have like 5 users?). I started with 1GB of RAM but it quickly started swapping on disk and causing performance issues. I should probably bring it up to 4GB but it's not necessary yet so I'm delaying.
Something I'd like to implement is object storage for pictures (via AWS S3 bucket) as detailed here: https://lemmy.eus/comment/164368
I think it isn't really sustainable to use one of the biggest energy wasters (like Amazon or Google), if the goal is to provide a green website, but that's nothing I've mentioned in the first post, sorry...
Hi there! I pretty much have the same question. Probably also a question for the selfhosted sub if it already arrived here.
I‘m thinking of hosting a lemmy instance, peertube and a minecraft server, the latter of which are very resource intensive and I‘m told I should look for „dedicated“ vcpus. Which drives the cost up considerably.
Looking at hetzner rn but 3 vpus (1 for minecraft, 1 for peertube, 1 for everything else) is quite steep imo.
Are you considering the dedicated part yet?
Good luck :)
