How much RAM does Redash need?

Plan on 2–4 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 Redash plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

Analytics

Query, visualise and share data.

Connect many sources, write queries and share dashboards and alerts across a team.

Redash is a good self-hosted home for ad-hoc analysis and sharing results with colleagues.

1
Provision a VPS
Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.
2
Install the stack
Install Python + PostgreSQL + Redis.
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 Redash its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Redash 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 Redash patched — most self-hosting incidents are unpatched software.
