What is the recommended minimum specs for Appwrite on a DigitalOcean droplet?

I have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

TL;DR

The user is asking about the recommended minimum specs for running Appwrite on a DigitalOcean droplet. There is a discussion about the pricing and options of different cloud providers. The user suggests using swap files to optimize RAM usage and provides a script to create a swap file. There is no clear solution provided.

probably need 4 gigs of RAM and 4 vCPU's?

seems like the RAM is the issue

Before that

You can try something that will change everything completly

I took it from one of Appwrite's scripts

Run this

TypeScript

fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
ls -lh /swapfile

chmod 600 /swapfile
ls -lh /swapfile

mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
swapon --show

echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

It will create 2GB swap file on your server

Then reboot

okay done, rebooting

And check htop again you should see two things

The swap file
The RAM usage will decrease tremendously

Using a swap file gives a complex docker-compose infrastructures like Appwrite being able to run on 1-2gb ram servers.

amazing, the 4GB of RAM droplet is 48$ a month, not ready for that yet hahahaha

Is it using less RAM now?

sort of?

Yes, that's a leap

Maybe it will take some time But I think that should solved it for now

BTW, Also I'm a very old client of Linode and DigitalOcean, recently started to use Hetzner. They have better pricing and a solid Cloud panel so it my be worth to check it https://www.hetzner.com/cloud
