How much RAM does OpenSpeedTest need?

Plan on 256 MB 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 OpenSpeedTest plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

A clean, browser-based speed test server.

Host a modern speed test with a nice UI, measuring download, upload and ping.

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