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.

I kind of want to self host a lemmy instance. What are the requirements for a single user lemmy instance?

Depends on how many communities do you subscribe too and how much activity they have.

I'm running my single user instance subscribed to 20 communities on a 2c/4g vps who also hosts my matrix server and a bunch of other stuff and right now I mostly see peaks from 5/10% of CPU and RAM at 1.5GB

I have been running for 15months and the docker volumes total 1.2GBs A single pg_dump for the lemmy database in plain text is 450M

Put up some docker stats in a reply in case you missed it on the refresh

Checked it out, thanks.

These stats are fine and all, but storage and network is what's going to get you in the end if you open it up to anyone and everyone and it becomes popular.
