How much RAM does Jellyseerr 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 Jellyseerr plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

Media

A request manager for Jellyfin and Plex users.

Let household members request films and shows, with approval, discovery and automatic hand-off to your media server.

Jellyseerr makes a shared media server self-service, so people ask through a UI instead of messaging you to add things.

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