Hi,

the server setup in manual assumes a server with 16 GB of RAM.

That is fairly well described in this section, saying:

For this guide we assume that 8 Gb RAM is allocated for PostgreSQL and 8 GB
RAM is allocated for Tomcat/JVM, and that a 64-bit operating system is
used. If you are running a different configuration please adjust the
suggested values accordingly!

regards,

Lars
