I am thinking of setting up my own Pixelfed instance, maybe on Digital Ocean or similar. Can anybody advise the sort of CPU requirements I would need for a single user instance to run efficiently? 2gb CPU sufficient?
I just set up Pixelfed myself. I’ve got it running on a 1GB Linode. Would definitely recommend at least 2GB RAM, because mine is using swap like there’s no tomorrow.
Processor wise, one core seems to be OK. My load averages are 0.11-ish.
