Hello,
     Has anyone tried running sakai on an amazon aws server?  The free tire only has 1 gig of memory.  Would that suffice if all I am after is a sandbox?  My job won't let me set up a VM on my laptop and aren't willing to pay for additional server space with what we already have.  Do any of you have any alternative options?

Yes, everything good so far.

Nope, at least 2GB as really small installation.

Is it for development purposes? You can have a native installation of Sakai @ your OS instead of using VMs, we work in that way :)

Our nightly servers are running on AWS.


Not sure about memory requirements.

We are running at AWS, but in bigger machines. With 1GB you will have for sure Out of Memory errors.  I think anything less than 2GB won't work, and surely with the last Sakai version, it is possible that 2GB won't be enough neither. You can try with 2GB, but with a 3GB server I think you will be sure to have enough for a sandbox. I don't know if there is any free service that provide servers that can host a Sakai instance.

You don't need a VM in your laptop to run Sakai as a sandbox... Sakai can run in any laptop if you have enough memory with Windows, Mac, Linux... no problem.

The only problem can be if you want to share that sandbox with others maybe your laptop is not the best option for that (anyway, you can do it if you open your access to your 8080 port and you can run it in localhost, etc...). But if you don't wan't to open access to your laptop... no way, you need to search for one with enough memory.

Agreed on all of this, the minimum memory requirements for the full Sakai install are about 1.5GB. You'd need the EC2 small with 2GB which is less than $10 a month. You can't get it running on a micro.
