Depends on your needs. Its based on postgres and redis at its core where basic configs can run even on coffee machines. And it has ruby to serve http requests which is a bit memory hungry.
But mostly it depends on your needs. I believe relays for your family and friends should be running fine on the cheapest $5 VPS
But you also can scale it up until postgres fails which I believe is much much higher than current nostr can demand.
However since its based on a couple of moving pieces (database, cache, background queue, scheduler, web server) unlike strfry which is just a single binary kinda, it requires more efforts to setup infrastructure to match your specific needs
Keep in mind that I’ve stopped working on it for now because I’ve failed to find real demand on user friendly relays
