what specs are needed to run such an instance?

[โ€“] myrmidex@belgae.social 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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!

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.
