I’m thinking about hosting owncloud / nextcloud on one of the $5 dedicated servers offered by kimsufi.
They come with:
CPU : Intel ATOM N2800 - 2c/4t - 1.86 GHz/1.86 GHz
Memory : 4 GB DDR3
Storage : 1 x 1 TB HDD SATA none
Public bandwidth : 100 Mbps
Is this enough? I just really like the 1 TB for the price.
My idea is
- Host owncloud / samba / sftp on this server.
- Use Wasabi’s $7 S3 storage for backup.
My other alternative is to just setup owncloud on a $5 Contabo VPS with S3 storage as primary storage.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Performance greatly improves by running it off SSDs. I run it on Alwyzon, Contabo and raspberry pi 4s.
Anything under 10 concurrent users (at the same time) should be fine on 4 GB Ram and 2 cores.
If you start implementing Onlydocs/collabora and add tesseract you might want more.
I mean, you can Google the requirements.

However, it all depends on how many users you have, what apps you use, how much data you store, etc… Obviously you’re not going to be running AI photo recognition on decade old CPU.
NextCloud is slow as shit. I really question their sanity to use PHP for this huge framework. I use single solution services and fared much better.
What do you use for backing up photos and videos?
I ran it mostly without issues on a Raspberry Pi 3 and 256GB flash drive.
