I'm running it on a tiny DigitalOcean VPS (512 MB memory, 1 CPU, 10 GB SSD, $4/month) with an additional 30 GB SSD volume ($3/month at $1 per 10 GB). My total cost is $7/month.
I also had to set up a 2 GB swap file when building the project; otherwise, rustc would be OOMed.
To reduce costs, you could either shrink the volume size or skip using it altogether.
Thanks. Dug a bit deeper, and I’ll probably just go with a Bolt12 invoice in a DNS record and skip the needing a server part (I.e BIP353). Seems Bolt12 adoption is growing; hopefully that’ll be the norm soon. A lot easier for the average person to grab a cheap domain and add a DNS record.
Makes sense. It really comes down to what fits your needs best.
And I use Cloudflare as my DNS server, and handle HTTP cert. On the VPS, thor is deployed behind ningx.
Looks very interesting. Has anyone tested the minimum VPS requirements for running Thor? Seems it would be great for low-resource deployments since you're not running a full LN node, but just using NWC to connect back to a node that doesn't need to be exposed to clearnet.
