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?

I've been wondering this myself but haven't asked/looked into it yet. I'm starting to wrap my head around how this works. If I understand correctly you would obviously have the communities you host and would also cache the communities the users of your instance subscribe to or interact with.

Does "interact" mean any interaction is what I'm not sure of. Simply upvoting a post? Simply viewing it? Is viewing it from /all considered viewing it?

I may be completely wrong... So looking forward to someone who does know to respond or link you to something that explains it.

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.
