Considering this is going to be around a 5 user instance at most I think I'll be good for awhile. Thanks!
im running 50 users right now, subbed to A LOT of communities, seeing db growth of about 100mb per day.
That seems high when you extrapolate that to 10000 users, like a larger instance might have.
It's all about how many communities your user(s) subscribe to since your instance basically acts as a mirror for those.
My instance has been running for 23 days, and I am pretty much the only active local user:
7.3G pictrs
5.3G postgres
edit: I may have a slight ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy problem
So if you're the only user (let's assume for ease) then, that represents all the updates (posts, comments, votes) from each community that you are subscribed to?
Yeah, and I purposely subscribe to (or sometimes have a dedicated "federation helper bot" account I run subscribe to) most of the most popular communities on the most popular instances so I can get a decent sampling of what's going on in the fediverse on the "All" feed. So I assume my storage usage is maybe a bit higher than what an "average" single-user instance may be...
That's not super terrible given the size of lemmy.world.
My instance has 13 users, and has been up for 2 months now:
1.5G ./pictrs
3.4G ./postgres
It depends on how many communities you end up pulling in. Your instance will only sync with communities that a user on your instance is subscribed to.
I've had my instance running for about 1 week and I'm the only user.
2.1G pictrs
2.5G postgres
476M ./postgres 1.1G ./pictrs
After 3 weeks
Is there any way to purge old data?
