Hi,
we’re considering migrating from our current forum software to self hosted Discourse, and I’m interested in some anecdotal evidence regarding possible resource requirements.
Our forum has been running for about 20 years, containing 560,000 posts in 37,000 threads. New posts are created at a rate of about 200 per day. We have 8,500 registered users of which 1,000 have been active in the last year. The system deals with about 1,000 anonymous and up to 200 logged-in concurrent sessions.
I’m looking for reports of people running installations of similar size - Do you use the standard installation method (fat docker image) or did you have to tune the setup to deal with the load? How much CPU and RAM do you allocate to your system? Anything else that I should know?
Thank you in advance!
Hans
