Noob question: How much RAM does my VPS need if... (sopuli.xyz)

I plan to have the following services running concurrently on it:

A VPN (OpenVPN or Wireguard)
A very lightweight personal website
A Nextcloud instance (25GB storage max)
A Vaultwarden instance
An Invidious instance
A Matrix server
A Lemmy instance

I'm unsure if these would be private or public instances. But I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on how much more space I'd need for public instances too, if you'd have a sense of that.

I currently have a VPS with 2GB RAM + 50GB storage. Would that be enough? Thanks in advance!

Of those, Matrix Synapse would be the heaviest. Consider using Dendrite before you get locked into the bad Matrix software.

You could also check out Conduit, it's still in beta but very lightweight.

Conduit is a lightweight open-source server implementation of the Matrix Specification with a focus on easy setup and low system requirements. That means you can make your own Conduit setup in just a few minutes.

So true, every few months I get the urge to ditch Synapse, but then I think about how much of a hassle it would be to migrate and happily pay a few bucks more for the extra RAM on the VPS. Don't be me, use Dendrite right from the start.
