    I read that the minimun requirement is 4GB.
    I have some linode 1GB vps that needs upgrade and the price step is huge from 5$ to 24$ per month.


    Is anyone using them with 1 or 2 GB?

    Should I abandon the philosophy of "1 vps = 1 project" for that of "1 vps = 4/5 projects"?

    You could switch to Hetzner or another cheaper host.

    My smallest VPS is 2GB RAM and 2CPU so you should be good with something smaller.

    I don't think 1GB would work anymore like with centos 7.

    Recommended is 4GB but minimum is 2GB, i have been successfully running a 2GB VPS for testing purposes but recently come up against this, seems i am a few MBs short :(

    Code:
                              
    Warning: physically installed memory and swap too low for Centmin Mod
    Installation [Installed: 1674 MB < 1689 MB memory and 3686 MB < 3686 MB swap (recommended minimum)]
    
    aborting install...
    
    I am tied in to contract on a couple 2GB VPS so hopefully there is a simple way to circumvent this and allow installation ?
