If anyone here is running an instance on Lemmy, I’d like to know the system requirements recommended. I want to run an instance on a VPS, probably just as an account server.

What type of VPS can I get by on, for just accounts on an instance? How much storage space would I need to do just an “account instance”, and how much would I need for a full instance with maybe a few small communities?

    Thank you all for the responses!

    It looks like an inexpensive VPS can do the job here, especially if it is just going to be an account server, with no communities.

    I haven’t gone through any documentation yet, as I needed this info first.

    Are there options for turning off certain things like IP logs, etc, to make it more private (for the users) to keep their info away from admin eyes? Or is all of that necessary for function?
