[Done] Brief outage for Pictrs upgrade today Oct 2nd 18:30 CEST is finished (self.lemmyworld)

Edit : OK so the outage was less brief than expected. The upgrade of the 3GB pictrs database took over 1 hour, and the version 0.4 database is now 14.5 GB... But anyway, it seems to be working alright now!

We will upgrade pictrs today, from 0.3.1 to 0.4.4. This will enable us to switch to S3 storage later on, and is needed for more anti-CSAM tools. Outage should only involve picture uploads, and should be brief.

That's not the pictures... The picture take up 1.2 TB.. it's just the database with the metadata about the pictures. (11.8 GB now...)

I'm curious, how much storage in total is needed for a Lemmy instance like this one currently?

[–] ruud 7 points 1 year ago

1.2 TB for pictures and 100GB for Postgres

For reference I run a pretty small instance. I'm at 34GB for the main database, and about 120GB of media. (Doesn't count backups)

My instance is much, much smaller though. A few hundred users, and probably only a couple dozen actually active.

Who pays for that s3 storage?

[–] ruud 9 points 1 year ago

The people that donate to lemmy.world

But it’s not in S3 yet. Still on disk.

I know. Giant database = Giant Γ— 10Β² amount of Pictures
