Disk space required for lemmy instance? (programming.dev)

With vlemmy disappearing, I’m considering spinning up a VM and sticking it in a DMZ for my own personal use (and any friends who wish to use Lemmy).

I believe there is caching involved, so does anybody have a good idea of how much disk space an instance for say ~10 users would require?

It's not based on users really, it's based on unique communities followed, so if you have 2 users who both follow the same communities you only pay for each community once.

But apparently storage is the main requirement, so you'll need a bit, think the numbers were like 5gb/day for a mid-sized server.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks, appreciate it.
