Our library also runs on Digital Ocean. We have just under 20,000 bibs, and we're getting by with 4GB RAM and 80GB disk. Most of our users go straight to the online journals, so our Koha doesn't get much use except for the few people who want our print and online books. We were running with 2GB RAM, but then I installed Elasticsearch and we suddenly needed more.

This isn't a definitive answer, but we support 6 volunteer-run libraries here in Sheffield on a "Basic Plan" droplet from Digital Ocean with 8Gb memory, 4 vCPUs and a 20 Gbyte disk. CPU usage sits mostly between 30% and 60% (the peaks are around 6.30am when the cron jobs run). Memory usage is quite high (70%) and is the thing we would run out of first if we tried to support more libraries. Disk usage is steady at 18% Hope this helps!

Hello!
Currently, we migrate a few smaller libraries (say 50k titles, 5k patrons each) to Koha. At some point this will have to move from our pretty small dev box to a user facing production server.
Could someone "in the know" give me some advice on the hardware requirements for Koha?
Eg. CPUs, RAM, disk space... Probably even some hints like "before you add another 20 cores, just add a few G of RAM" would be welcome. I searched the wiki and the web, but I did not find any specifics beyond "it should be able to run linux" and "go for 64bit". Basically, I have to specify this to our IT centres for them to set up a suitable virtual machine.
