Why does the official Lemmy docu say:

Lemmy uses roughly 150 MB of RAM in the default Docker installation. CPU usage is negligible.

whereas the Node.js server alone (dessalines/lemmy-ui container) consumes over 100 MB?

I would have easily ordered a 2 GB VPS in the first place, but I trusted the documentation to be up-to-date.

Glad to hear Photon has satisfactory performance, the new Svelte 5 version (use tag v2.0.0-rc.5) might even run faster, might want to give that a try.

True, 30M of footprint right now. I also decreased postgres hardware limitations as it was consuming a lot more memory than lemmy-ui. It was probably the culprit of those spikes but I'll stay with Photon anyway :)
