I will rent a v-server today with those specs: 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk space

I think it’s enough to run normal websites and even a game server, but I have no experience with the Fediverse.

Is this enough to run a few fediverse instances, like Lemmy and Mastodon or even others?

How much resources does Lemmy need in particular?

Thank you for your help.

    Hi there! I pretty much have the same question. Probably also a question for the selfhosted sub if it already arrived here.

    I‘m thinking of hosting a lemmy instance, peertube and a minecraft server, the latter of which are very resource intensive and I‘m told I should look for „dedicated“ vcpus. Which drives the cost up considerably.

    Looking at hetzner rn but 3 vpus (1 for minecraft, 1 for peertube, 1 for everything else) is quite steep imo.

    Are you considering the dedicated part yet?

    Good luck :)
