What is the currently recommended RAM for a bitcoind node, both for initial block download and steady state? I'll be using -txindex and making infrequent RPC calls, if that affects it significantly.
I'm provisioning a VM on a home server for a new node, so I can always adjust later if need be.

Can't say for initial synchronization, but my nose runs on a Debian 12 container with less than 2GB of RAM. Currently, 1.2 in use.
Heck... These typos 🙄 My *node* runs. Not my nose.
2GB and just be patient with the IBD
