Toot

Written by dynamic on 2024-09-02 at 18:06

I have an old laptop with an unusable screen. It has 2GB of RAM. I don't really need another desktop computer, so I want to turn it into a home server.

Things I'd like a server for: an instance of #Friendica or #Streams, host my own website, an IMAP server, a Euphoria/#Heim instance (https://github.com/CylonicRaider/heim).

Friendica's hardware specs say 2GB is the minimum for full functionality.

I want to do all these things, but maybe on different servers.

What should I do?

(boosts welcome)

If you are unfamiliar with #Euphoria / #Heim, it's pretty cool chat software:

What makes it really special is nested threading for chat.

Note: I originally provided most of the context in the poll itself, but I realized that that made it less clear that the poll was a poll at all, so I restructured this as a thread so the poll is less text-heavy.

@dynamic I'm unsure of the resource requirements of the specific apps. I've found I can run a surprising number of things with 2 GB of RAM. zram or zswap helps. But if Friendica has 2 GB of RAM as a minimum, I suspect it may require more than that in practice.

@foolishowl

Here's what they say specifically:

"Minimum 2GB of memory. We’ve received reports of intermittent database connection drops with just 1 GB."
