When I look up the minimal system requirements for NethServer I find this in the official documentation:
For NS 6.x: Installation — NethServer 7 Final
Minimum requirements
Minimum requirements are:
64 bit CPU (x86_64)1 GB of RAM8 GB of disk space
And for NS 7RC: http://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7rc/installation.html#minimum-requirements
Minimum requirements
Minimum requirements are:
64 bit CPU (x86_64)1 GB of RAM 10 GB of disk space
To me this seems a bit too simple. I would like to discuss a more practicable approach with a few scenario’s depending on installed modules and amount of (concurrent) users.
For this I need you all to chip in to define these scenario’s and share your experience with resource usage.
What scenario’s should we address to get a good idea how to size a server.
What I can come up with:
Home use: up to 5 users with mostly wireless devices (1 laptop + 1 mobile phone per user) 2 or more Networked TV’s, 1 or more game consoles. Typical use: Account provider, Gateway/Firewall/IDS, Fileserver, Printserver, Backup…?
SoHo use: up to 10 users: 10 pc’s/laptops, 10 smartphones, Account provider, Gateway/Firewall/IDS, webserver, fileserver, mailserver, Printserver, Backup (+push to encrypted cloud), UPS connection,
SME: Company of 10 - 100 users: Account provider, Gateway/IDS/Firewall/Proxy, Wwebserver, Mailserver, Printserver + management, Backup, offsite Backup, Backup to encrypted cloud, UPS, use multiple servers?
School up to 500 students: Accountprovider (Samba4 AD), fileserver, mailserver, Gateway/IDS/Proxy/Firewall, ELO (Moodle), Prinserver + management, use multiple servers?
Any other scenario’s or additions to these above?
It would be perfect if you could give (anonymized) info about your servers and share them so we can come up with hands-on system requirements.
