What is the performance impact of DH server-side?
I am considering installing DH server-side for my 1.21.5 Fabric server. The server typically has 2-6 players with 6GB ram and a suite of optimization mods.
I'd like to know whether DH significantly impacts the network (does it need high upload?) and if it requires more ram. What settings would you recommend configuring, if any?

It does need some ram yes. I'd expect around 2-4 gb more than without dh, but that's a rough estimate. DH can use quite a lot of bandwidth if you tell it to, but by default it's quite limited.

DH won't be able to generate LODs for chunks outside the vanilla render distance unless DH is installed on the server (DH 2.3.0+). Instead, as you travel around the world, LODs will be generated for areas you've visited.
If DH is installed on the server, it will work just like in singleplayer, gradually pregenerating chunks around the player. The server also has access to the
/dh pregen start <dimension> <origin> <chunkRadius> command, useful when you want to pregen without anyone online.
