It's a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.
It's determined by the client you're trying to watch the file on. The server could be run on a Raspberry Pi if you always use compatible files with your client since transcoding wouldn't be needed. The most compatible files will be x264 video and (don't quote me here) AAC audio but modern clients can also play x265 video and stuff like EAC or AC3 audio without needing to be transcoded (converted from one format to another on the server). For ease of transcoding, a GPU works best but they can be converted strictly with CPU hardware though it's more resource intensive.
