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

    There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There’s a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.

      Yeah, but I didn’t want to fiddle with some custom settings. The same official postgres container works great with other apps.

        Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.
