What hardware are you using for your self-hosted lemmy instance? (culture0.cc)

For those self-hosting a lemmy instance, what hardware are you using? I am currently using a small Hetzner VPS. It has 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM and 40GB SSD storage. My instance is currently just in testing with me as the only user, but I plan to use it for close friends or family that may want to try this out, but might not want to sign up for a different instance. My CPU and RAM usage is great so far. My only concern is how large the storage will balloon to over time. I’ve been up for ~20 hours and it’s grown to 1.5G total volume since.

1 vCPU 2.9ghz
1 GB DDR4 Memory
25 GB NVMe/SSD Storage

5~ USD a month. Working great for personal use and I'd imagine a handful of users. Hosted in a data center that is very close to me.

Also fwiw: 4 days of lemmy. I am subbed to a bunch of stuff. I've only uploaded like three pictures to my instance... All that space is thumbnails from other instances.

692M    ./postgres
8.0K    ./lemmy-ui
499M    ./pictrs

There's my current disk usage. I've gone wild subscribing to just about every community I come across to see how the storage adds up. Right now I've got ~150 communities subbed. We'll see how it goes and when I'll need to expand the storage.
