What hardware are you using for your self-hosted lemmy instance? (culture0.cc)

For those self-hosting a lemmy instance, what hardware are you using? I am currently using a small Hetzner VPS. It has 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM and 40GB SSD storage. My instance is currently just in testing with me as the only user, but I plan to use it for close friends or family that may want to try this out, but might not want to sign up for a different instance. My CPU and RAM usage is great so far. My only concern is how large the storage will balloon to over time. I’ve been up for ~20 hours and it’s grown to 1.5G total volume since.

1 vCPU, 1GB Ram, 50GB storage using the smallest x86_64 compute instances on Oracle Cloud. Qualifies for always free which is nice while I'm simply testing out a personal server. It's working just fine within those constraints. For now, at least.

Like you, I'm worried about storage. I would like to run it from home, but I live in the woods and my internet isn't reliable enough.
