Minimum RAM for Nyr-Wireguard?
What is the least amount of RAM that you have used for a working VPN using this:?
https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install
I have it running fine on 768MB, but for some reason even though it installs fine on 500MB and there is even free memory I can't get it to work, it keeps disconnecting. I have tried it on 2 different VPSs with 500MB RAM (KVM) and it's a no go.

Reserve 1MB ram for 2Mbps and you should be safe. Don't overthink, save your sanity.
wireguard itself works fine on 128MB machines, even KVM.
Its likely an installer problem.
Yeah, thanks. It's driving me nuts. I must be doing something wrong in the setup process.
Wireguard working fine with me on 128MB NAT machine
Did you use the Nyr script or did you install wireguard manually?
@Nyr
Nothing to do with RAM. Bot WireGuard and my installer use VERY little RAM, specially on Debian/Ubuntu.
My installer will work fine in Debian with those specs.
Thanks for the reply. I reinstalled Debian 11 and will try it again.
Thanks!
I use 128MB ram on my VPS.
I think I can run Linux with Wireguard as well on 64MB
Working fine for me in 64MB VPS using Nyr’s script.
runs fine on my 512 MB ram KVM VPS.
Uh, what do the logs show?
Nyr script works fine for me on microlxc tiny package
So it looks like for some reason the provider has blocked many ports by default and I wasn't aware of that. I opened a ticket to ask why this was like this by default, I've never encountered this before. These are old VMs, I've had them since 2017 and I renew them each year by default they are very cheap.
Mine works well on 64mb ram
That's amazing!
How much swap do you guys use?
i run it on 256mb webhorizon nat vps, install wireguard and openvpn too.
IPv6 only?
nat ipv4, i choose port wireguard and openvpn from what port they open to me.
Works well on my 64mb ram, 2gb storage nat
Works fine on 128mb ram, 2gb storage.
Yes, I used Nyr Script for Wireguard setup.
256MB
Which is the best OS to install wireguard? Ubuntu or Debian? Which version?
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I am new to linux.
Debian 11 or 10. Any Debian based distro (like Ubuntu) would work fine though.
Select Debian. It is more lightweight than Ubuntu.
