How much RAM does Grocy need?

Plan on 512 MB–1 GB for typical use; add headroom if you expect many concurrent users.

A household management and inventory tool.

Track groceries, chores, shopping lists and stock with barcode scanning.

Grocy brings order to household supplies and tasks, entirely on your own server.

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