If you have services relying on databases like Nextcloud (Valkey / Redis, MariaDB / PostgreSQL) more RAM could be helpful.
My current not finished setup with podman containers already takes 2 GB Ram.
Also prices for Ram and SSDs are predicted to rise or are already rising, so if you buy now, I would suggest to buy maximal large hardware parts.
@bordam As far as I noticed, related to AI boom the prices for RAM and SSDs could be get more higher.
Also, the end of Windows 10 could also trigger more selling of PCs and Notebooks, which also would make pressure on RAM prices.
So I think, it is better not to wait and to buy, when it is possible.
There are some articles from a german computer publication about RAM and Flash prices, unfortunately in german only.
