Requirements

CategoryDetails
Server Operating System
  • Production: Linux
  • Testing and development: MacOS or Windows WSL
Database
  • None 🤠 (OpenCloud stores files exclusively on the storage to minimize complexity and ensure maximum reliability)
Storage
  • Local storage: Classic file storage on a local file system with POSIX compatibility (e.g., ext4, XFS, ZFS)
  • S3
  • NFS (mounted with NFS version 4.2 or later)
  • CephFS
  • GPFS
Hardware requirementsMinimum (Minimal bare-metal Deployment - Up to 10 Users)
  • eg. Raspberry Pi 3
  • 1 GHz (Single-core)
  • 512 MB Ram
  • Storage: depends on data usage
Medium (Deployment - Up to 1,000 Users)
  • 2 GHz (Dual-core)
  • 8 GB Ram
  • Storage: depends on data usage
General:
  • Disk Performance (IOPS): Input/output operations per second (IOPS) should be unrestricted for maintaining optimal performance.
  • The server requirements vary based on load factors such as requests per second, number of client devices per user, file volume, post-processing tasks, and additional apps like Collabora. Proper sizing depends on these variables and should be adjusted accordingly.
