We were using 4 vCPU, 8 RAM x86 server for 15.7€.

Now we're using 8 vCPU, 16 RAM ARM server for 14.4€!

We literally doubled the specs for cheaper price! I don't understand why an ARM server is this cheap, but I don't really care. It's working great right now.

Only disadvantage of this is Photon and Alexandrite UIs are not working. Not researched yet but they're probably not compatible with ARM. But I'll find a way because I like Alexandrite and using it a lot lately.

Also I removed Cloudflare proxy. Although they offer an excellent service for free, I believe they're not fitting in decentralized nature of fediverse.

Thanks to;

Ah, Hetzner has good stuff. Photon just released a new version like 15 minutes ago with "an attempt at ARM docker images"

How much storage do you use and how do you manage it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep they just released it 🎉 Right now I'm using 26GB without media files since they're on S3. I'm using 160GB they're giving and I will add extra volume when it reaches to the limit.

Is most of that storage used from your own users or federated posts? I wonder because my instance is using a lot of storage and I only have a few users who don't post mucb

My users content is like 0.01% of it. It's all federated content. I don't like this BS to be honest.
