A Vanilla project zomboid server requires 2gbs of RAM by itself to actually run

Plus an additional 2gb RAM buffer for map data and zombie data to be surged into

Each player connected in addition to that will require 0.5gb RAM

So a vanilla server with 4 players will require a minimum of 2gb+2gb-(0.5gb × 4) = 6gb of RAM

Mods always increase the RAM required in some way.

To be safe, you should invest in At Least 8gb of RAM for your server, but 12-16gb will give you more than ample wiggle room
