I think your best bet would be to try and capture a log or do some monitoring to see which specific tasks are using a lot of resources at that time. That will give you more insight into what’s going on. You could do that with a command like htop - https://htop.dev

Does it happen on a set interval or is it random? If it’s an interval that seems to have a pattern, you could have a service running that is doing some sort of maintenance task, or has some cron job.

I honestly don’t really need any of the 1-click stuff. I pretty much live in the command line, so the main thing is bringing down cost for the future.

That’s a really good deal! Thanks for the heads up. I’m gonna start looking around.

I won’t tell anyone! Lmao.

Thank you! I’m happy with it lol. It’s kinda funny knowing that I paid for the domain enjoying.yachts. I’m glad it was at least cheap!

I love sh.itjust.works!

Wow, killer price! I need to check that out. I’ve had my Digital Ocean account for so long I’m on autopilot lmao.

That should be plenty of power and storage. I’m running on a Digital Ocean droplet that has 2GB of memory, 25GB disk space, and an Intel vCPU (the “premium” option). Hums right along.

If you do end up going for it, Lemmy Easy Deploy is the tool I used and it’s awesome. I had no success with any other guide.

It was pretty easy with that tool. The overhead isn’t too bad but I recommend not going below 2GB of memory. I rode along on 1GB for a little while to see how things went, and it topped out quite a bit. I pay a little extra for automatic backups too which is worth the peace of mind. It’s about ~$18/month with Digital Ocean.
