Hey Robert-

Be aware that usually those virtual linux servers also put a limit on
the total number of processes running, and under those virtualized
servers, Java threads appear as individual processes. When I tried to do
it, I hit the process ceiling (120 processes) as I was importing the
workspace, causing the installation to blow up spectacularly. This was a
hidden surprise for me, and led me to eventually buy my own server at
dreamhost instead.

Hi all,

I want to deploy our new site on a rented virtual linux server,
running Debian, Tomcat and MySQL. Since virtual servers are basically
priced on the amount of memory you get assigned to you, I really need
to know what the minimum memory requirements on this machine would be.
I suppose 64 MB is out of the question? Would 128 MB be worth a try?
Or do I have to go for the more expensive 256 MB?

The site will be a pretty low volume site, with a couple of dozen
pages. It's our company's home site, so it's going to be semi-static,
but we need to be able to update it easily. We will probably update it
on a weekly basis, but not every day. It will include a simple RSS
aggregation from our other site (a blog site), so a pure static export
doesn't cut it.

I don't really need to run anything else on the server, except for
sshd for logins. If there are resources to spare, I might run an email
(smtp/imap) server on it as well, but I'll definitely skip that if
that would mean that I could go for the 64 MB option!

Any input based on experience from you guys?

Thanks,

Robert
