Unless I am blind or my search-fu is hugely failing me, I cannot for the life of me find any information on the recommended/minimum specs to self-host the matrix backend services. I’m trying to spin up a VM just to play around with it and see if I like it. Specifically, I’m looking at Synapse or Continuwuity. Any advice?
Looking for vCPUs, memory, storage.


That’s how I started too, so very good plan, and good way of thinking ahead. Ssd will be fast so the app will load fast for your users, and images can take a few seconds and no one will mind.
Make sure you have a solid backup plan for both
I try to always follow 3-2-1 backups!
Good practice. Good luck then! Let us know if you need anything, on matrix I’m @scrubbles:halflings.chat, feel free to DM with questions
