Does it work well? Is there some kind of benchmarking recommend to see the difference? I’m thinking about ditching my small VPS if Google can offer the same performance for free… It’s a very small forum and I cache most stuff at cloudflare anyways…

Isn’t there a one year limit on the free tier? You want 2gb of ram or rebuilding we be a nightmare. You can make it run on 1gb + 1gb swap, but it’s not recommended. I can confirm it works on OVH’s entry level OVH SSD package which is $3.35 p/m Like I say, rebuilding/upgrading can be a bit of a cho…

I’m running on vultr 40 SSD, 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM and rebuilding takes 6min. Can you benchmark your system? All you have to do is run time /opt/discourse/launcher rebuild app and look at the stat real time displayed after finish. Replace the location to where the launcher file is in your system. They…

I don’t see anything there saying specifically why less than 1GB of ram wouldn’t work. I believe swap is transparent for the system, so I can give as much as 5 GB of SSD disk as “RAM”. It would be slower sure, but If it doesn’t affect daily web browsing, why care? I’ll try to benchmark the rebuildi…

Try it with a dev site. You’ll probably find rebuilds will fail and or other " bad things" will happen. 20GB is the bare min space I’d go too, be mindful of how much data backups will take if you’re not pushing them to S3. Rebuild would take my site down for a while no? Or am I misunderstanding the…

Yes rebuild would take your website offline till it ends. My backups are around ~20MB and they get pushed to the cloud too. I guess I’ll have to use Hetzner CX11 then… $2.50, 20 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM,1 CPU. But I’d really like if I could just use google free tier, as like I said, I rebuild very little…

Hi, I have tried installing discourse on many of the cloud providers available (AWS / Digital Ocean / Linode / Vultr / Lightsail / Alibaba / OVH / Upcloud / Scaleway / Hetzner / Aruba Cloud) From the price point, comparing performance to similar pricing, I see Hetzner works great. Great thing is …

[image] SouperC: You can make it run on 1gb + 1gb swap, but it’s not recommended. This is… not true. 1GB of RAM is fine and is the recommended starting point for small communities. On a 1GB server discourse-setup will automatically create a 2GB swap.

[image] SouperC: You want 2gb of ram or rebuilding we be a nightmare. You can make it run on 1gb + 1gb swap, but it’s not recommended. 1gb plus swap works fine and always has, and is ABSOLUTELY recommended. Unless you have a large instance that has outgrown that size..

I sit corrected. For some reason I thought the min physical ram recommended was two.
