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 SFTPGo’s recommended RAM of 1 GB. 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

官方未标明硬件最低配置: neither the GitHub README nor docs.sftpgo.com publishes a RAM/CPU/disk minimum (checked 2026-10-24); all sizing values are conservative estimates based on the official default Docker deployment — SFTPGo is a single Go binary with an embedded data provider (bolt/SQLite by default), so its own footprint is tiny and real disk usage is driven by the files users store/transfer, which are excluded from the disk estimate. Docker: official image drakkan/sftpgo on Docker Hub and GHCR, documented on the official docs Docker page (v2.7.6 at check time). License note: dual model — the Community edition in this repo is AGPL-3.0 (copyleft), and a separate Enterprise edition is sold under a commercial license. No GPU use. Stars 12698 and not archived, checked via GitHub API on 2026-10-24.
