user6744: I recently installed the Cardano node and Db-sync and Postgres using nix. I use a server with 97 GB of space, node version 1.34.1 and DB-sync version 12.0. The node took about 70 GB after fully synced and DB-sync is still syncing on epoch 254. So far in total they have taken 88 GB of disk space.
My questions are:

Is this normal?
How much disk space is it expected to take when it is fully synced?
Does installing with cabal save up space? and how much?

Thank you for your answer!
Edit: For anyone interested, the cexplorer (i.e. mainnet) database at epoch 372 takes 221GB and the cardano-node folder 84GB (with nix installation).
The whole installation (node, db-sync, nix, Postgres) takes 338GB of storage.

user2218: What is the current storage consumption for DB-sync? There's no "extended" version anymore either, right?

user6632: As an FYI, the mainnet node DB/chain itself is currently using 41GB of disk on Linux.
$du -h db
38G     db/immutable
2.9G    db/ledger
163M    db/volatile
41G     db


user5926: The database for db-sync at chain tip is over 100GB.

Syncing on epoch 254. So far in total they have taken 88 GB of disk space.

Yep and by the time you get to epoch 323 (current tip) the database will need more than 100GB.

Is this normal?

Yes

How much disk space is it expected to take when it is fully synced?

Currently about 100-120 GB.

Does installing with cabal save up space? and how much?

Might save you as much as 10GB.
