What are the CPU/RAM requirements of owncloud/nextcloud? (alien.top)

I'm thinking about hosting owncloud / nextcloud on one of the $5 dedicated servers offered by kimsufi.

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

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

My other alternative is to just setup owncloud on a $5 Contabo VPS with S3 storage as primary storage.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I mean, you can Google the requirements.

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.
