Understand the setup

Check runtime, storage and installation requirements before choosing a server.

Budget your resources

Allow room for the operating system, database and your actual workload.

Must have

Installation requirements

  • A supported container runtime and image architecture.
  • Persistent writable storage mounted at /var/opt/memos.

Recommended

Planning guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Capacity depends on your workload

No universal CPU, RAM or disk minimum is specified in this installation guide. Storage needs depend on notes and attachments.

We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.

Deploy with

Supported paths

  • Docker container
  • Docker Compose

The host must provide

Runtime

SQLite
Default database; external MySQL or PostgreSQL can be configured

Storage

Persistent data

Keep the database and local assets on persistent storage. External databases do not remove the need to preserve local attachments.

Step by step

Plan a Memos deployment

  1. Choose an image

    Use stable or a pinned release rather than the development-oriented latest tag.

    Official instructions
  2. Configure access

    Set the external URL and review the instance access policy; changing a URL does not change an existing policy.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Protect database connection secrets.
  • Keep backups before replacing containers.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include persistent storage and backups in hosting costs.
