how big is your mysql database? mine’s coming up on 9 GB, and I’m pretty sure the free tier of aws is limited to 10 GB. ---

I’m still under 1GB on database size. My nzbfiles directory is at 3GB or so. starting to get a bit more impressive in terms of library breadth but i was searching for a few things today and couldn’t find a bunch of what I was looking for :\ ---

Seems kind of silly that all of these people keep setting up redundant dedicated linux boxes in a semi-personal community here and no one will share instead of pooling resources… ---

Seems like it would make sense Get a handful of people together rent a virtual private server for $10-30 a month ---

I’m in to pitch in, I’ll leave the admin work to those with a higher nerd level. With a beefy virtual private server we could index pretty much all of alt.binaries too instead of just a small list like Jay’s. ---

has anyone come across links for an “optimal” setup? So I can try to find appropriate VPS pricing? ---

I’m using apache and MySQL on fedora 15. That’s only because I already had the box up and running with those packages though. The box is a core2duo with something like 10GB of ram Seems to run fine, though I would rather be running centos Linux. Bandwidth might end up being an issue since we’re going to be downloading and uploading thousands of nzbs. Like I said, I’ve been up and running for a few weeks at most and have already done 3GB of nzb downloads. ---

I haven’t found anything for “optimal” but it looks like a minimum of 768MB RAM and 60GB Storage. Maybe something like the Essential VPS from ServInt? $50/month. We use them at work and they have been really reliable. ---

my cpu is more or less idle a few users running searches might start to hit it a bit, but that’ll be more so ram/io than it will be cpu. ---

I haven’t logged into the box I have it running on in weeks. In fact I couldn’t log in directly since it’s sitting on the floor in my work room with just power and nic hooked up. Ubuntu FTW. I know you can manage a linux box entirely from terminal but I’m a linux noob so when I SSH into it I only know a few basic commands, like how to shut it down when I was rewiring an outlet downstairs and needed to kill power at the circuit breaker. ---

I was planning to. Haven’t had a need though, and I’m busy doing awesome shit like riding snowmobiles through 3 foot deep creeks while you guys debate optimal server settings 😉 Right now mine isn’t even running Sphinx as the text search. The early tutorial I used when setting it up didn’t bother with it and I haven’t bothered going back to mess with it. If I start seeing it get slow I’ll do it but for now I’m putting as little effort as possible into running this server. I can manage the site and my users via the web admin page and that’s all I’ve needed so far. I’m sure it would be getting killed if it was a public server with 1000’s of users, but it’s me and 5 buddies I’ve given access, 2 of which still haven’t downloaded a single NZB.
