Noob question: How much RAM does my VPS need if... (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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!

I am running Lemmy on mine with 1gb ram. 1 cpu. Ubuntu 22.04 server. I almost run out of ram. Seen as low as 50mb. Fwiw. My experience.

Probably will bump mine up.

Also, I found out my VPS host doesn't allow smtp traffic (25 or 465).. Anyone got suggestions on hosts that are cheap, reputable that allow smtp?

Oracle Cloud Free Tier offers a lot for free, you need to add a credit card, but they have 2 x86 instances with 1GB RAM, and and up to 4 ARM instances with 24 GB cumulated RAM https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
