Required specs for running a single user with all the bridges

[devnoname120]

I could not find this information: how much RAM/what CPU do I need to run an instance of all the bridges with a single user?

Thank you !

Answering my own question: the bridges are fairly lightweight in terms of RAM and CPU!

I run the bridges in Docker (one container for each bridge). Here are the stats:

CONTAINER ID   NAME                CPU %     MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %     NET I/O           BLOCK I/O         PIDS

c04da61d6956   beeper-meta-1       0.00%     38.45MiB / 7.391GiB   0.51%     5.14MB / 671kB    11MB / 13.9MB     29
691f83294984   beeper-slack-1      0.00%     18MiB / 7.391GiB      0.24%     22MB / 1.62MB     76.1MB / 42.7MB   23
960fdc863645   beeper-linkedin-1   0.02%     19MiB / 7.391GiB      0.25%     8.55MB / 1.4MB    58.2MB / 94.8MB   17
6be6bf1e5a6b   beeper-signal-1     0.01%     46.8MiB / 7.391GiB    0.62%     93.8MB / 46.7MB   182MB / 191MB     26
4f7cb2f462ea   beeper-twitter-1    0.01%     28.42MiB / 7.391GiB   0.38%     29.7MB / 10.1MB   118MB / 397MB     24
bcf2e8c645dd   beeper-telegram-1   1.32%     219.2MiB / 7.391GiB   2.90%     66.8GB / 62.4GB   2.09GB / 4.39GB   15
f073245da9ad   beeper-discord-1    0.00%     14.59MiB / 7.391GiB   0.19%     20.3MB / 1.62MB   82.2MB / 41.8MB   22

So in this snapshot the bridges collectively use 403.02 MB in total. So I think that having 1 GB just for the bridges (+ swap just in case) should be more than enough!

Update as almost all the bridges have been rewritten to Go (instead of Python):

Memory use: 990.73 MiB MiB in total.

Telegram alone uses 649.7 MiB! I think it's because it's the only bridge that hasn't yet migrated to Go and I think that the current Python bridge is very inefficient and leaks memory. Note that I joined a huge number of rooms and communities so you probably will not have such a high memory use.

I will post an update once the migration of the Telegram bridge to Go is complete. I expect it will then take around as much memory as the WhatsApp bridge, which will bring the total memory usage a bit under 400 MiB.
