Multiple servers

When several servers are being operated by the same entity, it can be beneficial to use a media repo which de-duplicates across all the available hosts. For example, an organization which has departmental homeservers will generally have a single media repo deployment which serves media for all of the homeservers in the organization.

An architecture diagram for this style of deployment would be:

Note that MMR will still make requests to the homeserver, and thus will need appropriate access to them.

Resource requirements

Deployments taking this shape usually rely on Docker or binaries on a dedicated host near the homeserver instances.

Much like medium/large deployments, the CPU requirements are minimal (1-2 cores should be fine), and the memory requirements can be calculated by referencing the configuration section of this documentation. Disk space requirements can be mitigated with S3 or an S3-like service, or by referencing the configuration section of this documentation.
