Ich plane, einen VPS für Discourse zu kaufen und habe zwei Optionen zur Auswahl: Ein Server mit 2 GB RAM, 2 Kernen und 25 GB Speicher sowie ein Server mit 2 GB RAM, 1 Kern und 20 GB Speicher, der nur einen Dollar mehr kostet. Die Frage ist: Lohnt es sich, für den zusätzlichen Kern zu zahlen? Dieses Forum wird das Einzige sein, das läuft – vielleicht später eine separate Website auf einem Ubuntu-Server. Ich sammle nur Gedanken, um die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen.
Vielen Dank.
If you’re just starting 1GB RAM and 1 core is fine, but a 20GB harddrive is on the small side. You will often not be able to do the one-click upgrades as you’ll have to frequently log in via ssh to do a cleanup action before upgrading. Unless you know that you will definitely have a lot of traffic I’d recommend (as the Discourse guides do) Linode or Digital Ocean’s 5USD/month 1GB RAM, 1vCPU, 25GB SSD options.
Even 25gb is a little tight.
I am familiar with setting up Discourse and I am not expecting much traffic at all. I am aware of DigitalOcean’s plan but the package I am looking at is cheaper with more resources going through OVH which I trust more than DigitalOcean
Well if you don’t expect much traffic either option will be acceptable. If it’s only a $1/month more it’s probably quite a good deal. And you can upgrade later if traffic demands it. So that’s another consideration - make sure your provider’s upgrade paths are reliable and smooth.
What are you really asking? How much disk space is needed?
No, I am asking if the extra core is worth it.
More memory or disk space is usually a better trade off assuming the core is fast and modern.
