what specs are needed to run such an instance?

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.

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.

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 )

19 GiB or RAM? Oh wow, that's a lot!

[-] myrmidex@belgae.social 2 points 2 days ago

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.

Let us know how it goes on !piefed_meta@piefed.social !
