how much data?

[A Former User]

I have found and testet on digitalocean.com Works great.
but have little memory capacity, because ssd.
how much need it for this page?, and what do you advise me?

Not much.. though over time it does increase, since the actual post data takes up space in memory.

A forum like this (running Redis) could last 2-3 years on the lowest digital ocean plan. Indefinitely if you use Mongo, since its data is persisted to disk.

O nice, thanks for this Information. i was really confused about this offer on digitalocean.com.

@julian Out of interest, has anyone calculated how many posts/users redis with 512mb of RAM could theoretically handle?

@a_5mith check out https://community.nodebb.org/topic/229/#1112. I did those a while ago but should give a rough estimate. Keep in mind that is only the memory usage of the redis database. The NodeBB nodejs process also uses about 80mb of ram.
