I will rent a v-server today with those specs: 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk space

I think it’s enough to run normal websites and even a game server, but I have no experience with the Fediverse.

Is this enough to run a few fediverse instances, like Lemmy and Mastodon or even others?

How much resources does Lemmy need in particular?

Thank you for your help.

    I think that should work fine, never seen Lemmy on a dedicated server go above 2GB RAM use, but mileage may vary I guess.

    On the other hand, I know Lemmy can run on a raspberry pi.

      I have to say that the Raspi4 is a very powerful machine and I might use it soon as my desktop. Because it can do everything, what you need, but use a fraction of the energy than other machines.

      I try it out! :)
