@nshki Thanks for your interest in Hollo!
While we don't have officially documented minimum requirements yet, Hollo is designed for single-user instances and is significantly lighter than multi-user software like Mastodon or Misskey.
Rough guidelines:
- RAM: 2GB recommended (including Node.js and PostgreSQL)
- CPU: 1 vCPU/core should be sufficient
- Storage: 10GB+ (depending on media storage needs)
- Database: PostgreSQL 17+
Real-world deployment:
- Works well on basic VPS plans ($5–10/month tier)
- Runs smoothly on DigitalOcean Droplets, Linode, Vultr starter plans
- Railway's Hobby plan handles it fine
- ARM processors are supported (the official hollo.social instance runs on ARM)
Storage considerations:
- If storing media locally, plan for additional disk space
- Using S3-compatible object storage can help reduce local storage requirements
- Resource usage scales with the number of accounts you follow and federation activity
Since it's single-user software, you can start with minimal resources and adjust as needed based on your actual usage patterns.
