I plan to have the following services running concurrently on it:

  • A VPN (OpenVPN or Wireguard)
  • A very lightweight personal website
  • A Nextcloud instance (25GB storage max)
  • A Vaultwarden instance
  • An Invidious instance
  • A Matrix server
  • A Lemmy instance

I'm unsure if these would be private or public instances. But I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on how much more space I'd need for public instances too, if you'd have a sense of that.

I currently have a VPS with 2GB RAM + 50GB storage. Would that be enough? Thanks in advance!

Hetzner Cloud is cheap and EU based. They block smtp for new accounts, but you can turn off the smtp firewall after a month once you pay your first invoice. Otherwise, use a mail service like Sendgrid.

Hetzner is awesome, I've been using both their VMs and a Storage Box for my backups for years, never had any issues, reasonably priced as well!
