lemmy.ml is migrated to a new server (lemmy.ml)

Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

This sounds wonderful!

[–] kekt@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for your work on this site. It feels very promising and a great place to migrate to. Reddit is about to hit their digg/myspace moment.

Are the json objects related to the migration? Btw, thanks for your hard work!

You're holding the gates of freedom open, my friend

[–] jamesj999@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Can really feel the difference in speed. Thank you!

hey 👋 do you have some Grafana dashboard where we can check user increase?

Given the no. of posts on this instance I guess it has quite a large user base and I’m really surprised how it manages to run on that amount of resources 😄

hi! I would be interested in understaning more the setup of the lemmy.ml instance. Do you use a cloud provider, a SaaS platform or a traditional hosting ? What are the costs that are incurred? Cheers!

Hi @nutomic@lemmy.ml. Thanks for the upgrade and for your work.

May I ask about the resources utilization now? CPU, RAM, storage? Thanks!

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Load average is around 4, ram and storage are also rather low. So there are plenty of reserves for now.

[–] Sanras@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that's the load average now on a 6c/12t system with 32GB, just how bad was the previous server?!?

Was this website running on a Raspberry Pi or something?

[–] riot_baby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Was running on a potato

@nutomic thanks, but I'm still getting 502 bad gateway

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Works for me. Try force reloading the page, or maybe DNS isn't updated for you yet?

[–] stupidassmofo@mastodon.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@nutomic hey, just fyi, still having the issue. 502 bad gateway. Someone further down I'm the conversation that it may be IPV6 related? Not sure

Is most of the discussion about the infrastructure done in a community here, or do you folks have an invite only discord/slack or something @nutomic@lemmy.ml?

I've been working in devops for 4 years now, but with mostly kubernetes and AWS, but I'd like to throw some ideas and just ask some more specific questions about the infrastructure. Like I'm curious why autoscaling the web servers and moving the database server to a dedicated instance is not the current configuration.
