Comment on Heroku is no longer the hobbyist's friendparent

How big is the VPS you're running it on? I've got a 1GB Digital Ocean box for my side projects already, wondering if I should just spin up another one of those with Dokku instead.

We normally recommend at least 1GB (and tell users to run swap on smaller instances). It's really just dependent upon your app's memory usage, and you can use docker options to limit app resources quite easily :)

I'm running it on 2GB but it really depends on your apps how much memory you'll need.

Dokku itself has no running processes, it's just Docker and nginx which are both pretty light on resources.
