June 12 - Server Capacity Update
June 12 - Server Capacity Update
I'm aware that some of you have been getting some errors loading this instance. This was a configuration that I needed to be adjusted which has since been.
Do be patient if we run into other issues, I'll be continuously working in the back-end with others to better your overall experience.
Still a lot of capacity available!
edit: For those that are interested in the configuring changes. I was using the default lemmy configuration for the nginx worker_connections value. This value needed to be raised.
Shout out to @[email protected] over at lemmy.world for helping me out.
You're viewing a single thread.
@[email protected] does Lemmy support a distributed configuration with multiple database and app servers, or are you limited to a single instance of everything?
The official supported deployments are single instance based, that being said things are already broken up into separate docker containers so it should be pretty easy to do. Would need to do some testing before hand. If this instance continues growing this way I'll need to look into scaling horizontally instead of vertically
Check out CockroachDB, a distributed SQL database compatible with PostgreSQL clients.

Could you elaborate what this means?
Better to have more servers as opposed to one ultra powerful server because the ultra powerful server tends to be more expensive than an equivalent strength collection of weaker servers. Also, you pay for all the power even during times you don't need it whereas you can take down or add more weak servers as necessary.
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the info! Keep up the great work man.
