How much memory
Four GB runs a small server for two or three players. Eight GB is the right size for a group of six to ten or for a long-running world with a mod list, because Zomboid loads map cells as players spread out.
The server itself
What a Project Zomboid server runs here

Mods, configuration and control
Running a Project Zomboid server day to day
- 01
Workshop mods by id
Add WorkshopItems and Mods ids to the server .ini and the server downloads them on the next start. Order matters for some mods, and the console tells you when one did not load.
- 02
Sandbox settings in full
Population, loot rarity, day length, sprinters and every other sandbox value live in files you can edit in the browser. A reset of just the settings does not need a wipe.
- 03
Restarts and the memory ceiling
The Java server grows over long uptimes. A nightly scheduled restart from the client area avoids the usual slowdown.
- 04
Map cells on mirrored NVMe
Zomboid writes a lot of small save files. They sit on NVMe Gen4 in a RAID 1 mirror, and the backup add-on keeps copies off the node.
