Disk figures describe the application footprint recorded in the dataset. Personal media, documents, backups and other user data can require substantially more storage.
RunOnVPS sizing suggestion
Suggested VPS tier
1 GB RAM tier
This is our sizing suggestion, derived from Beszel’s recommended RAM of 1GB. It is not an official requirement and it does not guarantee that every workload, plug-in set or media library will fit comfortably.

What it can replace
Datadog
Beszel is catalogued here as a self-hosted alternative to Datadog. Feature parity varies, so compare your required workflow before migrating.

Important notes
Stars/license checked 2026-10-24. Official README and docs (beszel.dev) describe the hub+agent architecture and call it lightweight but publish no RAM/CPU/磁盘 numbers — 官方未标明，均为基于官方 Docker 默认部署（hub 单容器，PocketBase 后端）的估算. Official Docker images for hub and agent on Docker Hub. Agent can monitor host GPU usage but Beszel itself needs no GPU.
