Understanding Requirements (Physical)

[niccokunzmann]

If I want to setup a Pixelfed server, I would like to understand the hardware requirements.

What I would like to have is a table like this:

number of users	min. RAM	ideal RAM	min. Disk Space for first year	bandwidth MB/sup/down	no. moderators recommended
1-10 (family)				1-2
10-100 (small community)
100-1000 (large community)
1000+ (open instance)

And also:

• Expected Architectures
• Choice of Operating System

Hardware Recommendations for self-hosting at home:

• SSD/Hard-drive/SDCard

• Hosting providers used:

  • Yearly Cost of server + domain + traffic
  • Yearly cost of Storage
  • Location (EU/US/UK/...)

I think that there is already some knowledge about this and it would be nice to have a page about this before the tutorial on how to proceed with setting up the software.

I wonder how to go about this. I think pixelfed.social and pixelfed.de might have enough knowledge to help out here and I could also create a questionnaire.
