How much RAM does Duplicati need?

Plan on 1–2 GB for typical use; add headroom if you expect many concurrent users.

Can I run other things on the same VPS?

Yes — size the plan so Duplicati plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

Data

Encrypted, deduplicated backups to any target.

Back up files and databases to local, SSH or S3-compatible storage with client-side encryption.

Duplicati gives you versioned, encrypted backups to your own storage target, so nothing depends on a vendor.

1
Provision a VPS
Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.
2
Install the stack
Install .NET + web UI.
3
Deploy the application
Follow the project’s official install guide for your distribution.
4
Enable HTTPS
Serve it on your own domain behind a reverse proxy with a certificate.
5
Back it up
Schedule a database dump plus a copy of any uploaded files to an off-box location.

Give Duplicati its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Duplicati and terminate TLS at the proxy so certificates are managed in one place.
Take a VPS snapshot before major upgrades so you can roll back cleanly.
Keep Duplicati patched — most self-hosting incidents are unpatched software.
