My 4 GB VPS fell over the day I added Immich, I want to know how much RAM does your stack really use?

My box was fine for like a year. Vaultwarden, Uptime Kuma, Paperless and a couple of small Node things, all in Docker on a 4GB VPS. As soon as I added Immich last weekend, my machine started swapping hard the second the ML container kicked in. Load average hit 9 and Vaultwarden timed out on my phone.

I know Immich is the hungry one but now I'm wondering if I just undersized everything.

What does your stack actually sit at in docker stats? Do you split the heavy stuff onto its own box or just buy more RAM? Is anyone running Immich ML on a VPS at all, or is that a home server job?

Kinda annoyed I didn't check this before uploading 40GB of photos.
