I’m thinking of buying a storage VPS to have another redundant data disk, is 1GB of system memory enough for syncthing? This will NOT be the primary syncthing machine, I have another, and that one is fast. I just need one more node to add data redundancy, so I don’t care if it’s slow, I just need it to work. Also, since I have my primary machine, I can take some metrics from it, but I’m not really sure how to do it properly. It’s currently handling 107k files, 10k folders, ~465 GiB, connected to 8 other machines that dump data into it.
Should be. VPSs though, typically some paravirtualized non-VM, may have other restrictions that are annoying like a low limit on number of threads.
Yes, I have a couple of VPS machines at Backupsy.com that have ~800MB of RAM running Syncthing with similar size datasets but more files and they run fine.
Since I run FreeBSD on them I have had to increase the file nodes limit because of the FreeBSD kqueue limitations, but they work fine.
