Minimum requirements?

[Circlefusion]

I looked through the documentation and through the forum, and I googled a bit but came up with nothing. Does anyone have an idea of minimum CPU/RAM/HDD requirements for just installing and trying out E-BOX? I have a few older boxes laying around but they only have 256MB - 384MB of RAM.

We thought that a minimal of 256MB are required to run eBox.

Give it a try, it should be enough.

I've installed Ebox on the old PII-400 Compaq with 192MB RAM. Web-interface was really slow.

Now it runs 512MB memory, nearly 100 is free, web-interface response time - 2-3 seconds, using just Proxy+email and 20 clients.

I'm running on P4 1.6GHz 1GB RAM and the RAM utilization is almost full... 

May be RAM is 2GB and higher?

How much do the apache2 processes get?

Run ps aux or top to know its value. As well as free command could be useful to know these values.

How many modules have you enabled?

11 modules in total.

www-data  7050  0.0  0.4 235372  4364 ?        Sl   10:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  7053  0.0  0.4 235372  4368 ?        Sl   10:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start


Sorry, how to I read this? I got this from doing the command "ps aux | grep www-data".

Thank you.

Hi,

Keep in mind that Linux will use all your available memory to cache stuff if that memory is not needed by other processes.


So you have to put that into the equation when checking how much memory is used. eBox and all it services shouldn't use more than 512MB.

Paste the output of:

free -m

Hi Jav,

Thank you for your in-depth information and I found total memory used is around 725MB at the moment. I believe this is something reasonable as 512MB may be the minimum requirement for eBox?

Thank you again.
