Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.
It depends on how many communities you end up pulling in. Your instance will only sync with communities that a user on your instance is subscribed to.
My instance dormi.zone has been running for around 3½ weeks now, has a 3-digit amount of users and hosts a community with little more than 1000 subscribers. Here’s how much storage it currently takes up:
- 6.2 GiB postgres
- 4.9 GiB pictrs
In the default Ansible configuration, storage will mostly be accumulated by log files that are automatically generated by Docker and deleted whenever you restart the Docker containers.
How many cans-of-beans.jpg can you store?
My instance has 13 users, and has been up for 2 months now:
1.5G ./pictrs
3.4G ./postgres
My instance eats up almost 100MB everyday. It mostly depends on what your users subscribe to. It was barely growing on my first few days until I invited a couple of friends over to try it out.
