Hi all, I'm glad to share that we successfully migrated old 2.x Koha to new one, 3.20. I should also say that this a quite derived version of 3.20, we have added many new features, new modules and changed a lot of codes for the use of public libraries so we may call this Koha version as Koha -- Devinim. We've migrated 1.220.000 active users, 13.700.000 items with active 900 libraries of 1126 public libraries all cities of Turkey. We use 14 servers for all production and 4 servers for test environment. We use MariaDB and Galera Cluster with 4 nodes, 8 apache servers and 1 zebra server. We plan to cluster zebra server in the future, it cannot perform very well for this kind of huge installation. During migration, we also cleaned some dirty data, this was also a big issue for 13m items. We've done many tests before going live.

Hi Mengu, thank you for sharing those interesting numbers.
I should also say that this a quite derived version of 3.20, we have added many new features, new modules and changed a lot of codes for the use of public libraries so we may call this Koha version as Koha -- Devinim.
What kind of customisations do you apply? And are you planning to get them into regular Koha for everyone to use? Do you have a public repository for them, and what license do you use? Thank you in advance, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko@abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

I think this is a notable event, and should be added to the Wikipedia article on Koha. On Jan 29, 2016 8:17 AM, "Jesse Lambertson" <jlambertson@sqcc.org> wrote:

HI Mengu This is a wonderful Koha story! May I just check that you have made the code of all the enhancements you made to the Koha source code available to the Koha community under the terms of the licence? Kind regards Jo.

Hello Mengu, I am making feasibility study of migrating libraries of Masaryk university in Czech republic from Aleph to Koha, and I would like to ask you, what kind of hardware do you use, some parameters would be great to know. Is it possible for you to provide these details? Thanks in advance, looking forward for your reply. Martin Kravec Student of Division of Information and Library Studies, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University and Software developer in Moravian library, Czech Republic
Hi Martin, We use many virtual servers for that project. By this day, There are 3 clusterted MariaDB servers, Many web servers, OPAC and Intranet servers are clustered and distinguished, 1 zebra server, 1 specific server for user id cards, lists, etc. 1 server for SIP2. All of them have Intel CPUs, we used a big memory araoun 100GB per each for databases since we use database very often in our solutions. Since they are all virtual servers, increasing or decreasing disk, cpu and rams are quite easy. Those are for our big installation of course, in our other customers, only one server can serve all the requirements. I hope this information will be satisfactory, if not please do not hesitate to contact to me. Thanks Mengü On 09-04-2016 11:13, Martin Kravec wrote:

Thanks Mengu, and what about Koha structure? You have one installation of Koha and one instance for every library? Do you have any subdepartments(subbranches, sublibraries)? I am looking for right structure, because I need to join 9 libraries that each have many sublibraries. Those libraries represents consorcium. But there are also libraries, that are not in the consorcium. Thanks for you reply, Mengu Martin Kravec

Suggestion as you're in Europe : come to the KohaCon next month :D http://kohacon2016.lib.auth.gr/ Hoping I'll see you there -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries
Thanks Paul, its a great idea! But now, I need this information until end of April, because its my deadline to finish this feasibility study of my bachelor thesis.
Hey Mengu, one(or two) more question(s). Is it possible to share one database of users between selected or all branches? And is the same thing possible for one shared database of bibliographic records? Thanks for answers. Martin Kravec
Hi Martin, We have 1.126 branches in that system, with clustered database. All user has only one username and password but they may use any library in any location of Turkey with same password. Bibliographic records are centeralized but 1 record may have many items for different branches. Come to KohaCon as Paul said, I'll be there. On 13-04-2016 11:06, Martin Kravec wrote:
