I am ready to pay DigitalOcean $6 / month for their 1GB / 25GB plan. But I keep reading that Discourse won’t be able to be able to perform on such low specs.

I have a server with the same specs on Vultr. Discourse runs just fine.

1 GB RAM should be fine for small communities, as the team wrote in discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub By the way, you may love to have a look at aws lightsail, whose pricing appears more attractive than DO. [image]

I’m curious, @anxvew have you managed to host Discourse for free? :grinning: [изображение] How can I host Discourse for free? Oracle Cloud offers free centos like servers if you register, you could try that By chance I saw a topic on this: [изображение] Install Discou…

I’m on 2GB/1vcpu by DO with small community (<1000 users, just few new topics/replies per day, handful chat messages, most bots are forbidden) and I’m close to low memory all the time meaning ~90% is in use. I haven’t had any issues because of that, though. And I know unused RAM is the most expensi…

It’s hard to define if a community is small or not solely by the total of users. What matters is the number of simultaneously active users, 'cause that’s what primarily gives pressure on your server. Codinghorror gave some key numbers to consider in this post. [изображение] W…

If you have a small community with just a few users it works just fine. You’ll run out of disk space after you’ve rebuilt a few times and will need to do a launcher cleanup frequently. I prefer the $12/month with 50gb, but you an resize later with just a few minutes of down time.

Хватит ли $6 за Droplet?
