Are you looking for to set up just an “authoritative IRR source” (RGNET?),
or to set up an instance which mirrors all the world’s IRRs? The latter
option is quite memory heavy.

If mirroring other databases is not the goal; an “auth only” IRRd v4
deployment will easily fit your VM alongside those other apps.

Or perhaps you are interested to fund development of a modern lightweight
version of the IRRd software? :-)

Kind regards,

Job
