Find the heaviest part
Immich’s machine-learning container, a Coolify build or a game world usually decides memory. Read the guide for that component first.

Overview
For software that asks for 8 GB.
Four vCPU, 8 GB of memory, 100 GB of disk. Our guides pick Comet where a machine-learning container, a build pipeline or a game server needs real headroom. Several call it a floor, and say so.
Photo and file clouds
The Immich guide recommends Comet: 8 GB for the machine-learning container, with the 100 GB disk as the real constraint. The Nextcloud guide agrees and says Flare will disappoint.
Deployment platforms
The Coolify guide recommends Comet for the control plane, a build, a Node app, a database and one more service.
Game servers at the floor
The Counter-Strike 2 guide recommends Comet; its idle server used about 800 MB. The Rust guide puts Comet below the official floor. The ARK guide says 8 GB cannot reliably hold even an empty world.
Workflow
Size by the heaviest part.
The heaviest container usually sets the plan.
Plan the disk too
The Nextcloud guide calls 100 GB generous for a working cloud and the wrong tool for hoarding terabytes. The Immich guide calls the disk its real constraint.
Back up before you rely on it
Daily backups are included and you can keep up to seven free snapshots. Snapshot before major changes. Keep your own copy of anything irreplaceable.
Where Comet is the floor
Statements from our own guides, not new benchmarks.
Satisfactory
Comet is the floor for a small group and a young factory. Pulsar is the guide’s pick for a late-game factory or more than four players.
7 Days to Die
Comet for a small group on a default-size random world. Pulsar for eight or more players, mods or a larger map.
Palworld
The guide recommends Pulsar. A small group can run on Comet with a scheduled daily restart, and should expect the occasional crash on a busy night.

Answers
A few things to know.
Can Comet run a local language model?+
Our Ollama and Open WebUI guide maps 7 to 8B models to Comet and expects a few tokens per second on CPU. It suits a private assistant, not frontier-model quality.
Is Comet enough for Counter-Strike 2?+
Our guide recommends it. A loaded map with nobody connected used about 800 MB and about 1% of one core. We could not test with players, so check htop in a full match.
Is 100 GB enough?+
For a working cloud or photo library, our guides say yes. For hoarding terabytes they point to a NAS. Check your data size first.
Can I run Rust or ARK on Comet?+
Our Rust guide recommends Pulsar and our ARK guide recommends Quasar. See the 16 GB and 32 GB pages for those.
Does unmetered mean unlimited?+
Unmetered means no per-GB transfer charge. It does not mean unlimited throughput, and the acceptable use policy applies.
