    That's really lean. Why not roll a pure nginx setup, though?

    Vanilla needs .htaccess and its a little bitch on pure nginx.

    It would be interesting to follow the correlation between RAM usage and the number of members / visits as the community grows.

    Edit: tks for sharing the specs.

    This is useful information actually. I have been wondering how resources scale with community growth.

    Yes. I have data about WP, magento etc., but not about Vanilla. I would like to follow the evolution of processor & memory usage and, if possible, bandwidth.

    Not really an opinion on my part, but I thought maybe OpenLiteSpeed would be good for this now, supporting .htaccess and all ... (?) (I haven't run plain Apache for quite some years, used nginx for some years, and recently played with OpenLiteSpeed and Lighttpd.)

  • InceptionHostingInceptionHosting Retired

    Yeah maybe, although this seems to be doing well tbh on fairly limited resources, once things start to struggle I may use that opportunity to switch a few times and measure performance, my personal choice is usually lighttpd but felt a bit fruity when setting this up.

    I would've made it with a docker swarm cluster running both a mysql cluster and a replicated apache service. I would then have added 5 masters to be able to have 2 down and maintain a proper cluster and then 3 workers all running the mariadb and apache services.
    But that would probably be overkill ?

    I tried both Debian and Ubuntu, and I just liked Ubuntu better with no particular reason. Maybe I'm just more familiar with it. And i also like canonical-livepatch since it's free ;)

    @AlwaysSkint @poisson
    I am currently using Debian on my Proxmox host server. Using Centos for webhost server, ubuntu server for the dev and test VPS.
    @cybertech I also use Centos on my main servers that I use for websites.

  • k082mxk082mx OG

    @AnthonySmith could you share a little more details on the current server specs for both "talk" with vainilla and "forum" with fluxbb.
    Like Distro version, and maybe some tips on how you manage to keep vainilla under those small specs?

  • somiksomik OG Hostbusters

    Why not go with a dedicated server? Those are very cheap now a days and it would avoid the downtime during switchover.

    So go with a LowEnd dedicated server. Maybe a RaspberryPi 3 B+ or 4?

    You still got too much RAM. Ask your DC to remove a stick or two.

    You should host LES elsewhere because if InceptionHosting is having an outage, where will we create the drama thread?
    It doesn't go that way.
