| [12:42:44] | <KyleGInTN[m]> | Good afternoon...after much research, if I proceed with any development and hosting, I'll probably go with a linux based mini-pc that I access from my windows desktop for keyboard/monitor sharing, but to isolate the farmos from the rest of my system. If any of you have a similar build, or can share their hardware specifications, that would be helpful. |
| [12:44:16] | <mstenta[m]> | Sounds good KyleGInTN! Hardware specs shouldn't matter too much. Like fosten said on the call - it's possible to run farmOS on a Raspberry Pi! 😆 |
| [12:44:47] | <mstenta[m]> | Pretty much any modern specs should work fine. |
| [12:47:04] | <KyleGInTN[m]> | ok, thanks...definitely been working a couple AI for suggestions...and perhaps they are just being conservative on the specifications required, e.g. 32gb ram. I do see a relatively cheap raspberry pi mini pc that has 8gb ram and 256gb storage...wasn't sure of the footprint for the various tools needed versus other data storage considerations. |
| [12:48:06] | <KyleGInTN[m]> | So, I'm assuming both development and hosting, e.g., docker/composer, drupal, postgres, etc. |
| [12:48:07] | <mstenta[m]> | You can run farmOS on a 1gb RAM Linode |
| [12:48:38] | <mstenta[m]> | It really doesn't need much - especially if it's just you using it. |
| [12:49:28] | <KyleGInTN[m]> | Ok...sounds good...I'm not read to click "Buy" just yet, so will continue my usual analysis/paralysis pattern. |
| [12:49:34] | <KyleGInTN[m]> | Thanks! |
| [12:50:10] | <mstenta[m]> | But hey... if you're setting yourself up, and you plan to run Docker on it... you can play with other stuff on the same server, like Home Assistant |
| [12:50:19] | <mstenta[m]> | NextCloud |
| [12:50:26] | <mstenta[m]> | etc |
| [12:51:00] | <mstenta[m]> | (other/similar open source projects for managing your own personal cloud) |
| [12:51:32] | <mstenta[m]> | Some others have played with integrating farmOS + Home Assistant in interesting ways |
