Suggestion: document resource requirements

[tuxayo]

Description:

Can some rough estimations of what CPU performance is needed for which kind of usage?

Example of usage

• room with 30 people with E2EE
  • with most people from other instances
• bringing with IRC or Telegram, etc

Example of low end servers that are attractive to self host thing cheaply: https://www.kimsufi.com/uk/servers.xml Which limitations should we expect with CPUs such as these? :

I find Synpase should document the requirements better. For example, it would be useful to have this data at hand ;

• Storage requirements
• CPU usage
• Network usage
• RAM usage For each data group, it would be nice if it could be display as ;
• A graph with user number / storage usage
• 3-4 graph with user number / age / storage usage for every quartile of the above

Obviously, the issue here is that these number might vary from server to server, but even without exact data, having a general ideal of how much ressources I need to run a Matrix server would be nice.

For example, knowing that I can expect needing 50Go / year on a raspberry pi to run a Matrix server for my familly but that for 100 people I will need at least 8 cores at 3GHz, 700Go/y and 12Go of RAM, and ~1To/y of network i/o.
