One of the nice things about pixelfed is that you can run it on a cheap LAMP stack.
- Redis is optional, you can use database or fs cache instead.
- It doesn't require much RAM if you choose to not optimize photos and videos and can poll instead of use websockets for realtime updates.
- You can use MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and SQLServer databases.
- Media uploads can be stored on S3 or S3-compatible services.
Look forward to the new performance updates that are shipping soon! #pixelfed
