Hello,  
I plan to install a Vaultwarden instance to host family passwords. I am unable to find any requirements about hardware specification to help me choose an appropriate VPS. So is there any minimal and recommended system specification:

- CPU (number of vCPU)
- Memory
- Storage

Thank you for the help.

2vCPU’s, 1GB of mem and how much attachment storage you want your self.

In theory Vaultwarden can do with less then 100MB by it self.

That is minimal I think. Everything more is bonus. But maybe only CPU and Storage increase is something which will have any benefit.
