What are the reliable minimum server requirements for a DSpace 7 installation?
Our installation is funded out-of-pocket and we just can't afford the kind of professional hosting expected for major institutions.
Am I running out of system resources? Here is my overview:
Non-managed KVM virtual server
Ubuntu 20.04
4 CPU cores
4GB RAM
1GB swap
The system load is very light, but RAM
usage is now typically 97% capacity and swap varies around 80%. We have items with 30 or more images. The Mirador viewer does work reliably, but the thumbnail generation is taking more time than we'd like to see.
Tomcat 9
Apache 2
PostgreSQL
MySQL
Cantaloupe image server
DSpace 7.2
Wordpress
Would another GB of RAM speed performance up and prevent bitstream upload errors? It will cost more to find out.
