    hey everyone,

    I'm not too savvy yet and have little experience with running a server. So I have a question about RAM and memory usage in general:
    Many of the Cloudron apps specify how much memory they need. For example:

    • Wordpress: minimum 256 Mb
    • Nextcloud: minimum 600 Mb
    • Collabora: minimum 1 Gb
    • LanguageTool: a whopping minimum of 3.5 Gb
    • ...

    ...do the apps need this much memory all the time, only when they are under load or does it depend on individual parameters per app?

    I ask because I have some apps installed that have quite high demand - and when I add it all up, my server has less memory than "minimum" required. Do I need to upgrade?

    if you want to USE Nextcloud and not just stare at a loading animation pump it up to 4 GB - my uses about 2.6 for just sitting around doing nothing

    Yes, at least.

    I find that in practice in use they nearly always use more.

    It's probably overkill, but I tend to default to manually setting the RAM to double the minimum.

    @David-0 said in Memory usage:

    More RAM is always good.

    But you don't really need more until you start regularly getting apps crashing because they ran out of memory.

    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner
