Hi Tasha, Well for what it's worth ... we host Koha "in the cloud" on a Droplet from Digital Ocean with 4 VCPUs, 8Gb of memory and a 20Gb disk.This system is supporting 5 libraries (i.e. 5 separate databases) though I suspect the total number of records is much less than you have (probably more like 50,000). This machine is costing us 40USD per month. Until recently we were running with only 4Gb of memory (at half the price) but after enabling plack on all the instances the memory load went up and we decided to upgrade to 8Gb. The machine also supports a web server, though the load from that is tiny. Hope this helps, Best Regards, Chris Brown On Fri, Dec 11, 2020 at 5:27 PM Bales (US), Tasha R < tasha.r.bales@boeing.com> wrote:
Good morning,
I'd like to ask for suggestions about hardware recommendations for installing Koha. We have about 1.5 million bibliographic records. Perhaps the reason we're not seeing a lot of info is just that Koha/MySQL/Zebra is relatively lightweight? I've done some Googling and quite a bit of inspection of the Wiki and documentation, but haven't found anything specific. I'm an applications admin and don't deal with installing and provisioning servers, so pardon my ignorance. I'm anticipating questions from IT-we anticipate hosting in our own cloud, on Ubuntu-and want to be prepared. We don't plan on uploading files to any bib records, if that's relevant.
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom,
Tasha R. Bales
