So my #gotosocial instance knows of 1319 other instances at the moment - I'm running it via #docker compose with #sqlite as db.
It takes up 2GB at the moment, is this a lot, will it get much more? In the docs it states something like it will stop getting bigger at some point 🤔

odd@gts.oddware.net 5 months ago @graves Mine knows of 4428 instances and have been running for some months (about 6 I think..?). The DB file is about 700MB, and all storage including media is about 6GB. I’ve set it to prune media after 7 days, so the media cache fluctuates, but rarely grow much bigger than this, and it shrinks again as older media is deleted.
The DB file will continue to grow, but very slowly, as it just contains text.
darrin@gts.djs.to 5 months ago @graves I've been running mine for about 3 years, it talks to 5606 instances and the sqlite database is around 15GB. It seems fairly steady at that size.
miro@soc.crw.li 5 months ago @graves I run my instance for a year now (also with sqlite) and it knows about 8000 other instances. I follow 400 accounts. I set the cache duration to 2 days and my 10GB quota is scratched on a regular basis.
So, yes, it will
certainlyprobably outgrow your current 2GB, but likely not by more than one order of magnitude. I might also add that I try to avoid posting a lot of pictures, since they won't get purged like remote media (I assume).
daj@gofer.social 4 months ago @graves Mine is aware of 14,398 instances. Current DB size is ~14GB. It's not really about the number of instances, but how many follows you have on your instance. Every post for anyone you follow is copied onto you server.
