Well, it depends how many users will be using it, and things like that. I have a testing instance over at https://metaman.space which i use as my primary client, it has 2vcpu/2gb of ram/60gb of disk and that is more than enough. Our bigger instances are 2 or 4 vcpu with 4 or 8gb of ram, gleasonator.dev is 4 vcpu 8gb of ram, and this has maaaany many users.
metaman.space runs its own Postgres, the rest all share a single postgres with 320gb of disk, 8 cores, and 16gb of RAM.
I wouldn't worry too much about CPU and RAM honestly, ditto itself is pretty lightweight. Try starting with a single vCPU and 1gb of ram + 1.5gb of swap and seeing how that goes. You can always trivially scale up your VPS if it feels slow.
In my opinion, the bigger scalability problem is actually disk space -- the gleasonator database is like 30gb at the moment. metaman, a much smaller instance, is using about 10gb. So I'd keep an eye on your usage.
Feel free to @ me if you have any more questions!
