RunOnVPS sizing suggestion

Suggested VPS tier

1 GB RAM tier

This is our sizing suggestion, derived from Miniflux’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.

Important notes

Stars/license checked 2026-10-24. Official requirements page states only PostgreSQL >=11 and supported OS — no hardware numbers. Official README states the app itself 'only uses a couple of MB of memory and a negligible amount of CPU' with several hundred feeds; RAM/CPU/磁盘均为含 PostgreSQL 在内的整机估算. Official Docker image published per README.
