I made the epic mistake of hosting this on a $5/month linode server and this community now has over 100 subscribers

this instance is going to explode

update: on a better Hetzner server

apparently Lemmy stores copies of all images locally which also is wrecking peeformance

What method did you use to get it set up on Linode?

[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It's just an Ubuntu server, used docker since I use it to host a lot of my other projects as well.

640MB/1024MB is used on average with all of my projects. Swap is completely full all of the time.
