What are the CPU/RAM requirements of owncloud/nextcloud?

I'm thinking about hosting owncloud / nextcloud on one of the $5
dedicated servers offered by [kimsufi](https://www.kimsufi.com/en-
ie/dedicated-servers/).

They come with:


> CPU : Intel ATOM N2800 - 2c/4t - 1.86 GHz/1.86 GHz

> Memory : 4 GB DDR3

> Storage : 1 x 1 TB HDD SATA none

> Public bandwidth : 100 Mbps

Is this enough? I just really like the 1 TB for the price.

My idea is

1. Host owncloud / samba / sftp on this server.
2. Use Wasabi's $7 S3 storage for backup.

My other alternative is to just setup owncloud on a $5 [Contabo
VPS](https://contabo.com/en/vps/) with S3 storage as primary storage.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I mean, you can Google the requirements.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/sys
tem_requirements.html


However, it all depends on how many users you have, what apps you use,
how much data you store, etc… Obviously you’re not going to be running
AI photo recognition on decade old CPU.

Performance greatly improves by running it off SSDs. I run it on
Alwyzon, Contabo and raspberry pi 4s.

Anything under 10 concurrent users (at the same time) should be fine
on 4 GB Ram and 2 cores.

If you start implementing Onlydocs/collabora and add tesseract you
might want more.

NextCloud is slow as shit. I really question their sanity to use PHP
for this huge framework. I use single solution services and fared much
better.

I ran it mostly without issues on a Raspberry Pi 3 and 256GB flash
drive.

What do you use for backing up photos and videos?
