Hey #MastoAdmin, I'm interested in- How many users your instance runs right now? Total/Active?- What specs do you have (RAM, vCPUs, media storage)?- What amount per month are you paying for it right now in total (including hosting, storage and other costs)?- What is your current storage size and database size?- What version of #Mastodon do you run?- Do you run a closed/open/invite only instance?Thanks in advance!

I'm still considering in opening this instance, this is why I'm asking. I want to know a bit more about the resources it would take. Many have said it's not recommended, but I still want to know more about it.Here are my answers:1. I currently have 4 users, 2 active including myself and my wife2. vCPUs, 8GB RAM3. Hetzner4. Cloudflare R25. 29.69 € in total, including storage6. DB: 11.2 GB, Storage: 558 GB7. v4.1.28. Closed9. Very smoothly right now, I have scaled one time because wanted more space for the DB and got rid of slower storage box which I replaced with fast zero egress Cloudflare R2

@rolle +1 for Hetzner. They also do pretty cheap 7 day auto backups.

@rolle Suomi.social1. 16 total/11 active users2. 4G RAM, 2vCPU, 1T storage (currently 173G) + Elastic Search on another (same as rele.suomi.social)3. Hetzner in Finland4. Hetzner Storage box5. €23,50, but this includes also rele.suomi.social and a dev/staging server 6. Storage 173G, database: 8G7. Latest 4.1.28. Closed/invite9. Yes, very smoothly. I recently added a lot of new relays, but still it is quite smooth - only the storage is now growing strongly. I tried to run this on a smaller instance, but apparently 4G RAM is absolute minimum.

@rolle 1: 2 users, 1 active.2: 2 CPUs, 4GB RAM, 40GB storage.3: host in the house behind Cloudflare4: Cloudflare R25: for mastodon, 20 for Cloudflare pro domain, and less than $1 for the storage. I don't want to include ISP/ASN/IP Space charges cause it would cost me closer to 700 quid a month if I did!6: psql is around 100 MB. images are around 30 GB. 7: 4.1.28: I think its invite-only....

@rolle why insist on using Mastodon when there are better alternatives?

@jorijn Thanks for answering! I have no experience in Kubernetes. Would it be possible to switch from a regular non-docker, non-anythin Mastodon setup to Kubernetes? Or, is it possible to create some sort of clustered setup without Kubernetes?

@rolle Yes on both. Manual example, 3 machines. 1) Sidekiq, 2) Web, 3) DBsKubernetes manages it for you.

@rolle My instance is running since October 2022:1. 12 total/8 active2. Ryzen 5 4500/32GB/1TB SSD (2 months ago it was Celeron core2duo/8GB/240GB HDD)3. My cellar with 100/100 fiber4. Internal SSD with daily backup to NAS with HDD5. about €7,50 for electricity and about the same for write-down.6. about 2.5GB DB and 37GB media storage7. 4.0.28. invite only9. very smoothly since I migrated to my new hardware and dockerised and limited the instance. It can use about 50% of the system.

@rolle i have 3 active users on a managed masto.host instance intended for friends and mutuals. i pay $9 per month for the masto.host "planet" subscription plus $5 per month for elasticsearch. i have capacity for approximately 20 users at the moment but i'm ready to scale up to 100 (the next subscription level, $19 per month) if needed at some point. my instance is version 4.1.2 and runs quite smoothly

@rolle 1. Myself only2. 8 gigs of ram, Intel® Core™ i5-7200U CPU 2.50GHZx 43. Myself4. Internal5. It scales based on power usage but since it’s an old laptop the power draw is usually minimal6. Around 8gb combined, though I have had it at upwards 20gb7. 4.1.28. Closed9. It does run smoothly, probably won’t need to change it out until the server dies
