I didn’t notice any big drops in network or CPU performance. Usually, because other network traffic had priority. But my server’s HDD constantly rattling along got me thinking that it wasn’t worth it. There are several other containers running on that box and I don’t have that much HDD activity with them.

There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There's a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.

Yeah, but I didn’t want to fiddle with some custom settings. The same official postgres container works great with other apps.

Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.
