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!

It's always hard to evaluate that before, but why don't you try setting all up and If it's not enough RAM, just upgrade when needed? As @poVoq already said, Matrix might eat some of your 2g ram, everything else will probably not need so much.

I've been trying to, but I only get so far as the VPN. The moment I try setting up any other service, I consistently get a 502 bad gateway error on Nginx. I'm honestly at my wit's end. I've nuked the server and will try again with a clean slate and hope for the best..

Maybe try Yunohost on it if you are starting fresh anyways.

Oh wow, will do! Do you know if it's open source?

Yes, fully.
