For Olympus, recommend at least Linode 4GB (or Nanode 1GB only if using managed Postgres + low traffic).

Setup

  1. Create a Linode instance (Compute → Linodes → Create → Ubuntu 22.04).
  2. SSH in, install Podman as in the Vultr recipe.
  3. Use Daedalus's Direct SSH provider.

Object Storage for backups

Linode's S3-compatible Object Storage is ideal for Postgres backup off-host:

rclone copy /backups/ linode:olympus-backups/

Pricing: $0.02/GB/month.

Akamai DDoS protection

Linode includes basic DDoS protection. For Olympus's login endpoints, complement with Caddy's rate_limit (Security, Rate Limiting) and Cloudflare Turnstile (Security, Captcha).
