Why does the official Lemmy docu say:
Lemmy uses roughly 150 MB of RAM in the default Docker installation. CPU usage is negligible.
whereas the Node.js server alone (dessalines/lemmy-ui container) consumes over 100 MB?
I would have easily ordered a 2 GB VPS in the first place, but I trusted the documentation to be up-to-date.
It appeared that lemmy-ui also causes random cpu spikes of load ca. 25.0 which made my small VPS unresponsive for a few minutes every few hours.
I have observed great performance improvement with mlmym but it lacks some basic functionality, so now I’m using Photon and with satisfactory result (
btop):Glad to hear Photon has satisfactory performance, the new Svelte 5 version (use tag
v2.0.0-rc.5) might even run faster, might want to give that a try.True, 30M of footprint right now. I also decreased postgres hardware limitations as it was consuming a lot more memory than lemmy-ui. It was probably the culprit of those spikes but I’ll stay with Photon anyway :)
