Another potential use for this would be to host the Devdocs server for
GNOME API documentation in JavaScript. It disappeared off the web last year
when my AWS free usage ran out after 12 months. So far I've heard that it
is missed, but nobody actually has a place to host it.

It's pretty lightweight and could be hosted alongside other proposed uses.

Thanks for looking into this, and thanks to LibertyVPS for the
offering!

Yes, it would be awesome if we could use this offer to power an
OpenTripPlanner instance.
I have made scribbled down some details including some estimation
figures for RAM/disk usage here https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Maps/Resour
ces/GTFSFeeds

There is also a page with some links regarding the implementation and
rough usage figures for our current turn-by-turn-based routing (using
GraphHopper): https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Maps/PublicTransportation

The current temporary demo server I had set up for FOSDEM is currently
running with transit data for Belgium and consumes about 2.3 GB in RAM
usage (resident memory used by the Java process right now) and around
500 MB of disk for the generated graph object and the downloaded GTFS
feed files, but there probably needs to be some margins, and also some
extra headroom for running the update process (which re-generates the
graph objects when new GTFS data feeds are downloaded).

One option, if we can't get a machine with really large amount of RAM
might be to run something with some sample data sets as a sort of
preview/demo.

Depending on the specs, one potential use of this server could be for 
public transportation support in GNOME Maps.
We've been working on a branch [1] for a good while now, but the feature 
will be disabled by default when it hits master since we don't have a 
server to host the OpenTripplanner data.
