How much RAM does Nextcloud Server need?
Nextcloud Server publishes no fixed minimum. Nextcloud states a minimum of 128 MB RAM per PHP process and recommends at least 512 MB per process, so total server memory depends on how many PHP workers you run (no whole-server figure is given), and a 64-bit CPU, OS and PHP are required to run it well.
