Will image hosting always be disabled on this instance, or is it just a temporary measure? If we make a post in a community on another instance do images get put on that instance or this one?
Image uploads are now enabled.
🎉
Until I get an idea of how well this VPS will scale storage usage. Honestly right now, the database growth alone is more than I had expected.
I’m looking to setup object backed image storage, which will mitigate the impact images have on storage… but it doesn’t help with the database. Will see if I can get that done on Sunday.
What kind of database does Lemmy use? Postgres? Does it live outside the docker container for the app?
Yes it is postgres. And yes it is persisted outside of the container through a volume mapping.
Okay cool, thanks for the info!
