How much memory
Eight GB is the sensible starting point for a 7 Days to Die server, and it is what the game's own guidance points at for a small group. A large map with many players, or a heavy overhaul mod such as Darkness Falls, is better on 16 GB.
The server itself
What a 7 Days to Die server runs here

Mods, configuration and control
Running a 7 Days to Die server day to day
- 01
Overhaul mods install normally
Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy and smaller mods go into the Mods directory over SFTP. Clients need the same mods, which is a game requirement rather than a hosting one.
- 02
serverconfig.xml, fully editable
Difficulty, loot abundance, day length, blood moon frequency and land claim sizes are all in one file, editable in the browser.
- 03
Restarts and blood moons
A scheduled restart keeps a long-running world healthy. Set the cron expression in the client area and leave it.
- 04
Region saves on mirrored NVMe
A played-in map writes region files constantly. They land on NVMe Gen4 in a RAID 1 mirror, and the backup add-on keeps restore points off the node.
