Comment on Does anybody else feel like Linkwarden is very resource intensive.
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 months agoEr, phones have had 4gb for years.
2gb for a system… My 2012 laptop has 4gb.
There’s a big difference between desktop environment needs and headless server needs.
Anything with user interaction will require an enormous number of additional services, which consumes resources.
I expect to run simple headless software on 256-512 MB of RAM. For example.
OP is using a VPS, not a phone/laptop.
And?
VPS it’s trivial to have the ram you need. My laptop had 2 memory slots. A VPS has how many? Oh, yea, it’s virtualized. 🤦🏼
You really don’t get having to pay for things, do you?
Can’t really apply that logic to cheap vps
Sure I can.
You’re complaining about needing 4gb of RAM on a virtualized platform in 2025, when 4gb of ram was common on a laptop (which is heavily space constrained) thirteen years ago.
It’s a fair comparison.
Laptops usually run desktop environments which are quite resources intensive. You can easily run some Docker services on 2GB. The debian VM that natively runs my nginx reverse proxy has 512 MB RAM and works perfectly fine.
I’m running Urbackup in a Dietpi VM, with 256Mb RAM. Works fine.
Urbackup server is running about 70Mb RAM idle.
I could probably go down to 128Mb for the whole VM, but that’s is pointless.

When running containers it’s not uncommon to relocate just 512 mb for lighter processes.
