These are current graphs for lemmy.world (yet to add it to my Zabbix)
Diskspace:
du -sm * 960 pictrs 1273 postgresI see you’re using Hetzner. Those graphs don’t really show what kind of CPU you’re using. It’s a 2 core i guess?
It was an 8 core. But the current server is a 32-core / 64 thread cpu.
For only 17k Users? Seems like a lot of CPU Usage. Damn.
it’s most likely coming from postgres, db server tends to be the main resource hog.
That image was from when we had 8 cores. Now it’s under 10% usage :-) So we have some spare.
Dang dude, youre the man
Oh wow! 2GB already seems like a lot, especially since it looks like this instance has only been running for 10 days?
Wow, that’s a lot of CPU usage
Do you have any data redundancy? Like that if a hard drive dies? Or worse a hurricane takes out your whole server? What would happen to my newly created account?
It’s on a VPS so any redundancy they use for storage, plus I make backups to a storagebox in a different datacenter
Super cool!
At least 2.8k :-)
What is the plan to make communities between instances easily accessible? I feel like with mastodon and now lemmy that is the part that concerns me, namely community reach/discoverability
External communities are just searchable, subscribable and browsable from here. Sometimes you need to change a search filter or default view from Local to All. Or is there something else you feel is missing? I think 90% of the issues people are having are UX related and not a core issue with federation or decentralization.
I think my concern for adoptability is that a technology community could exist with the same name on lemmy.world as well as on another instance. I think theirs some benefit to creating a user and community pool of names and communities to allow genuine growth. it would also prevent fakes and phishing.
I think of it like selfhosted@lemmy.world instead of just selfhosted. Sure there may be duplicate communities on different instances but over time I think there will be more people gravitating to a particular community and people will just sub there from then on and the others will become more dormant. When I refer to a community I’ll just use the full name (selfhosted@lemmy.world) and not just the community name (selfhosted)
I absolutely understand, I am just trying to think of making it as adoptable as possible. Remember that many people struggled to adapt to Reddit and now lemmy will be adding additional layers of complexity that make entry more cumbersome unless you’re savvier than the average internet user. It isn’t cosmic but it should be considered and mitigated.
I think it depends heavily on how much storage you’re allocating, if you allow uploading media that is. From what I’ve understood most of the bottlenecks are in DB operations so CPU and memory definately play a role.
Good point. I forgot about media.
I wonder if I made a LAN lemmy instance if I could use it as a lemmy cache server.
Is there a such thing as a cache only server? If so I’d love to sign up as being a cache bitch and help out!
I’ve not looked to see if it’s possible, but a lemmy instance with posting disabled would be effectively be a cache server - all reads, no writes, except for sign ups, I think.
I was thinking if I made a personal instance I could use it as a local “cache”.
