Recommended VPS System Requirements

Hi guys, I wanted to move 2 businesses that I manage to ERPNext, I plan to deploy 2 separate docker instances/containers, one for each business, and possibly add up to 5 instances in the future, and was wondering if the following specs can handle them:

  • 4 cores EPYC Milan vCPU
  • 8GB RAM
  • 4GB SWAP
  • 60GB NVMe 4.0 RAID-10
  • 2TB Monthly Bandwidth

I’m also looking into a VDS instead with the following specs from Hetzner:
2 dedicated EPYC cores, 8GB RAM, 80GB NVMe Storage and 20TB Monthly Bandwidth.

More info on the brands that I handle, one of them is a beauty product brand, while they handle 50-100 emails/tickets per day, I expect to have 5 to 12 concurrent users. The other brand is a tech startup so it’s just a single person running the business at the moment, but I expect it to have about the same staff headcount in the future.

If you need to have exact understanding of resources required then setup one instance, scale service replicas to max possible and fire common requests made by users using locust.io, jmeter or any load testing tool.
