Hi,
As I’m just discovering discourse, I was wondering : What are the server “minimum” specs for running a forum like BA for example ?
CPU usage (for example, is a 6th gen i7 @ 3.4GHz enought) ?
Disk space growing (How many extra GB/month) ?
How many requests/page load per month ?
Maybe the best would be to ask bartv, but I guess he is already busy with MP’s.
Thanks ! See you !

Right now, Blender Artists serves about 4.5 million page views/month. Our setup is:
12 core Intel Xeon E5-1650V2, usually at < 30% CPU utilization
64G Ram (utilised for only about 50%)
480G SSD
Static site assets are cached by Cloudflare’s CDN.
Disk use is about 3GB/week at this moment, but as our traffic is steadily growing this will increase.

Ok thanks !
Wow, I thought the disk usage would be a lot more ! 3GB/week, you could survive more than 6 years with 1TB, impressive
Glad to ear that it’s steadily growing ! Well done !
(And thanks for the percentage usage for CPU and RAM, very usefull)

Bare metal, we have a dedicated server.
