I don't know about running it from a MAC ?? But... I've run our koha install for an elementary library ( http://koha.almaschools.net/) as a VM off an ESXi box for two/three years now...no issues at all, very low usage. VM is a Debian install w/512 meg RAM allocated..... :-) runs like a champ. On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 6:59 AM, Shelley & Kurt Kemperman < ksckemperman@chartermi.net> wrote:
Asking this question for our IT guy:
"Has any one tried to put Koha on a virtual machine like Oracle VM VirtualBox or VMWare fusion -- And run it from the desktop of a Mac? I have either a iMac or Xserve Apple Server I could use for this.
It appears my server is on its way out and I need to come up with a solution for where I am going to put the next server. We need the server for our elementary school. Library days are only twice a week and all the classes can come through in a few hours. Our demands on the system are small, as Koha is only ever accessed from one computer.
Has any one tried a solution like putting Koha in VMware on a Mac?
Any feedback would be appreciated."
Not sure if it matters for his question, but we have about 5000 items in our library.
