How to size a VPS for Coolify and Dokploy
Coolify asks for 2 CPU cores, 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk, and Dokploy for at least 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk. Both are self-hosted, Heroku-style platforms that build and run your apps in Docker, so the disk fills up with images and build caches; this page lists plans with 30 GB or more.
Coolify says it can run on less, such as 1 core, 512 MB and 4 GB of disk, but doesn't recommend it. Builds are what push memory up: Coolify's docs warn that running builds and Coolify on the same server can make it unresponsive, and their example production server, with 2 vCPU and 4 GB, builds its apps elsewhere.
So pick 4 GB if you build on the server itself, or build in CI and deploy finished images.
Our recommendation: 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM with 40 GB or more of NVMe if you build apps on the same server.
