@lord @me @PLA but a very obvious single point of failure.
I still do that for other projets, get a large dedicated server and manage the hypervisor myself, but then everything depends on that single piece of hardware that you can't fix or replace easily, on one network uplink you can DoS, on one Xen server you can't upgrade without downtime (because a real failover server = 2x the current price)
@weberc2 @me @CobaltVelvet Check the About page on some Mastodon instances. I've seen some with some nice stats. I wish I could remember which one I was looking at the other day. https://instances.mastodon.xyz/list
@PLA @me @weberc2 For Octodon we have netdata (fast and accurate) on each host linked on the /about/more, and a munin here: https://munin.octodon.social/
@CobaltVelvet @weberc2 @me Awesome sauce right there. Nice.
@CobaltVelvet where do you get 5 4gb servers for 20$?
@miguel Scaleway
@CobaltVelvet that's a great price, too bad it doesn't have ipv6
@miguel they do, but only on virtual servers.
@CobaltVelvet thanks for the tip, I'll try it out on smaller projects. I'm currently paying 20$ for 2gb on my instance. Definitely not scalable for my budget.
@CobaltVelvet @PLA @me
Why don't you take a dedicated server like a dedibox MD at 65€/month ?
You would have a way bigger machine, no ?
