Official requirements
Only plans with at least 2 GB RAM and KVM virtualisation are listed. The figures below come from each project's own documentation.
| Software | Minimum RAM | Recommended RAM | CPU | Disk | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n8n | 328 MB | — | not published | not published | Linux, Docker |
n8n: n8n publishes no general server minimum; its only sizing is an illustrative n8n Cloud example of 320 MB to 2 GB of memory plus a 512 MB to 4 GB SSD database (SQLite or PostgreSQL), and the CPU line is a vague 'minimum 10 CPU cycles'. The npm install requires Node.js 20.19 through 24.x, and the docs warn that memory grows with data volume, binary files, Code nodes and concurrent executions.
