I’m the sysadmin for beehaw.org and our user-base has almost tripled in 24 hours. Our site has been crashing so much over this time period.

We do have some volunteers that are trying to figure out a reasonable solution for when this happens again four weeks from now.

Do you have any recommendations?

    So far there are no major problems. Disk was filling up but probably unrelated. I guess beehaw grew a lot more in terms of percentage than lemmy.ml during this time.

    The main things I can think of which might help are to increase database pool size (in config file) and number of federation workers (/admin). Also create a swapfile if you are running low on RAM.
