Resource footprint
Needs ~512 MB RAM · 1 GB recommended(declared in charts/yacy/values.yaml)
Why?
  • Minimum M (1 GB): the project declares it — resources.requests.memory: 512Mi (charts/yacy/values.yaml). We add 25% headroom on top.
  • Recommended M (1 GB): the project runs it with up to 1 GB — resources.limits.memory: 1Gi (charts/yacy/values.yaml).
  • It can sleep when idle, which is the cheapest way to run it.
Get started
$ git clone https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server.git
