Nextcloud
File sync and share with calendars, contacts and collaborative apps.
Memory depends on how many web processes you run and which apps are enabled. User files are sized separately.
Planning figures used by the calculators: RAM 2 GB (our estimate), CPU 1 cores (our estimate), storage 10 GB (our estimate). These cover the application itself. Your own photos, films, documents and recordings are entered separately as data storage.
The table lists every figure we hold, what kind of claim it is, and the fragment of the archived document it came from.

| property | value | basis | evidence | document |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| architecture | 64-bit CPU, OS and PHP strongly recommended | vendor recommended | Quoted from the archived document: A 64-bit CPU, OS and PHP is strongly recommended for Nextcloud. | Document 4, retrieved 2026-09-08 |
| cpu plan cores | 1 cores | our estimate | Our reasoning: The documentation gives no core count. One core covers file sync for a household; previews, full text search and video calls need more. | No document, our reasoning only |
| ram per process min gb | 0.128 GB | vendor documented | Quoted from the archived document: Nextcloud needs a minimum of 128MB RAM per process, and we recommend a minimum of 512MB RAM per process. | Document 4, retrieved 2026-09-08 |
| ram per process reco gb | 0.512 GB | vendor recommended | Quoted from the archived document: Nextcloud needs a minimum of 128MB RAM per process, and we recommend a minimum of 512MB RAM per process. | Document 4, retrieved 2026-09-08 |
| ram plan gb | 2 GB | our estimate | Derived from the archived document: Nextcloud needs a minimum of 128MB RAM per process, and we recommend a minimum of 512MB RAM per process. We plan four processes at the recommended 512 MB, which suits a household of a few users. | Document 4, retrieved 2026-09-08 |
| storage plan gb | 10 GB | our estimate | Our reasoning: Application, database and previews only. Your own files are entered as data storage. | No document, our reasoning only |
