Resource footprint
Needs ~832 MB RAM · 2 GB recommended(estimated)
Why?
  • Minimum L (2 GB): estimated from the app's language, dependencies and category: about 832 MB. We add 25% headroom on top.
  • Recommended L (2 GB): the project's docs ask for 1 GB for the whole server (docs/docs/self-hosting/installation/requirements.md); about 512 MB of that is for the app itself. Raised to the minimum, L.
  • It can sleep when idle, which is the cheapest way to run it.
Get started
