1 TB of storage (an outrageous amount of storage if you ask me) is what you need for 35 active users, and it'll cost you €14/mo at Scaleway (European cloud provider). On top of that comes €38/mo for the web server, counting in at €52/mo.
Can you imagine how expensive it gets for a popular instance?
@thor So if I compare that with the providers that offer it, it would cost me about 57.70€/month.
I can't calculate it directly because I run a large server and virtualize it.
@thor The costs don't scale linearly. Storage requirements on the object storage side don't get all that much worse, and you can get $6/TB/mo from a few places (Vultr, Backblaze B2, Wasabi), and while there are definite breakpoints on compute costs "enough to run the Rails app that is Mastodon" scales you up a fair amount.
