[Geoserver-users] How feasible is it to run GeoServer in 512mb ram on linux?

Hi,

For me 612 MB of memory on Ubuntu was not enough for Geoserver and PostGIS.

Hi,

I hadn’t run GeoServer on any Linux box with less than 1 GByte.
It may run with less but you’re going to hit a lot of Out of Memory issues IMHO
Having PostGIS on the same machine will lower the memory available gor GeoServer. I don’t think on such a limited hardware you’re going to use huge amount of data, I would stick to shspefiles.

Cheers,

Stefano

I am looking at getting a cloud server to host a GeoServer for an app that I am writing. I don’t expect any real revenue to support the cost of server so it is out or pocket. I am use to having 2gb available so have never dealt with hardware this limited. This will be used primarily with an iPhone app but there will be an OpenLayers interface for viewing and an export functionality. This is a firefighter app for finding and adding water sources. The app is 95% written the ongoing cost is the thing holding it back atm.

The server would just be handling wfs and wms and only point data stored in a PostGIS on the same box. Is it possible to run under these conditions? I plan on setting up and running some JMeter tests to see how well it stands up, I just wanted to know if this is completely impractical. The pricing really jumps up quick with when you start adding ram.

Also would it lower or raise ram requirements if I used a SHP file instead of PostGIS?
