我正在考虑为 Discourse 购买一台 VPS,目前有两个选项可供选择:一个是 2GB 内存、2 核 CPU、25GB 存储的服务器,另一个是 2GB 内存、1 核 CPU、20GB 存储的服务器,后者仅贵 1 美元。问题是:多花一点钱购买额外的核心是否值得?该论坛将是服务器上唯一运行的服务,未来可能还会在 Ubuntu 服务器上部署一个独立的网站。我正在收集意见,以便做出正确的决定。
谢谢。

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.
