Hello and greetings from Canada! Took a second but I found your instance! Wishing you all the best!
Welcome, Eric!
Hey, admin! How are you liking lemmy so far?
I need to find my way :-) But looks nice. Now, to create some communities…
Already on it! https://lemmy.world/c/culinary
Good luck to Lemmy.world! I just found out about Lemmy, and started the Etsy Sellers community here. This should be interesting to say the least. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thanks for hosting another instance @ruud@lemmy.world . I’m trying to stay off lemmy.ml and beehaw.org as they’re buckling under the load. If I may be as bold, what hardware spec is this instance running?
This currently runs on a small VPS, which I can easily extend. For my largest server (mastodon.world) I am running on a dedicated server with 32cpu/256GB RAM so scaling is always possible :-)
How did you start out with hosting mastodon.world? I’m assuming you didn’t immediately go to a dedicated 32cpu machine. What was the migration to the current dedicated machine like?
I started mastodon.world running in docker on a VM in Proxmox. Proxmox was installed on a (smaller) dedicated host at Hetzner. It was one of many services I ran from that docker host. Never thought it would grow that fast…
If you’re interested I described what happened here: https://blog.mastodon.world/and-then-november-happened
The migration was easy, just rsync and update DNS.
Thanks for sharing that write up! Wasabi looks like a great way to keep media storage costs down.
I don’t know what pgbouncer does but it sounds like it helped out.
