This instance is currently running from a VPS. I'm not sure it'll stay here, as it's just a test.
I'm just demonstrating to myself (and the world that):

  • SmartOS (so illumos based OSes) can run on an 1 euro per month vps (that's the price I pay, not the current price)
- SmartOS (so illumos bases OSes) can run on 1 GB Ram, with ZFS and all the cool features

So yes, ZFS loves ram. But doesn't need that much ram to run, especially on illumos
