FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why install this tool on a VPS instead of using a hosted service?๏ผ
Self-hosting keeps your data on your own server, removes per-user fees and gives you full control. The trade-off is that you handle updates, backups and uptime yourself.
What hardware do I need for these setups?๏ผ
Most tools in this category run fine on a small VPS. The guides state the minimum specs for each service, usually 1 to 2 GB of RAM.
