I run a non-federated instance on a tiny 2GB RAM ARM SOC. About 4-5 active users. Extremely light (under 80MB RAM usage) as long as you don't federate. Attempted enabling federation once - maxed out all cores, all mem/swap, and basically blew up the entire machine. Had to wipe away the database and start without federation.

Encryption UI is a mess. I have actively tried and failed to set up E2E encryption with at least one other technical user. Recommend disabling encryption unless you want non-technical users to abandon ship immediately.
