Mac Mini M4 Pro (64GB) for Local AI Stack — RAG, OpenClaw, PicoClaw, Docker, Linux VM. Enough RAM?

I recently purchased a Mac mini M4 Pro (64 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD) to build real-world skills in DevOps and AI infrastructure. My plan is to run a Linux VM and containerize components such as RAG models, OpenClaw/PicoClaw agents, SQLite, and Chroma vector databases using Docker.

Is this hardware sufficient to support this workflow effectively over the next year, or are the 64 GB memory constraints likely to become a bottleneck?
