Disk space required for lemmy instance? (programming.dev)

With vlemmy disappearing, I’m considering spinning up a VM and sticking it in a DMZ for my own personal use (and any friends who wish to use Lemmy).

I believe there is caching involved, so does anybody have a good idea of how much disk space an instance for say ~10 users would require?

Having a homelab myself and running quite a few services I’m still so iffy on allowing anything out on the wider web in such a public way.

Yeah, this would be the first that would be so openly accessible (I do host other things but they are severely locked down). That's why, if I do it, I'll create another VLAN, with zero access to my network/other VLANs.

That's why I was asking about disk space, as I wouldn't connect it to my NAS. If I do it, I'll probably do it on dedicated hardware with it's own drive.
