Re: Minimum Platform Requirements?

I don’t know about James v2 versus v 3, but in my experience 512 MB RAM would be a pretty minimal environment for any Java server app. 

If what you want is a small, low-power appliance-type device, have you considered an Atom-based SFF PC? You can pick up a used Asus eeeBox with HDD, 2GB RAM, and Windows 7 for not much more than a Raspberry Pi. I’ve been using one of them as an entertainment PC for a few years, they are small, quiet and consume very little power. Asus, Zotac, and many other brands offer these machines, and they are in good supply new or used. If you keep it on Windows, you can upgrade to 4GB RAM for ~ $15.

why not at least use the rpi2 with 4 cores, 1 GB RAM, etc...at the same
price than the old rpi 1?

Thanks Robert.

I'm on an rPi kick at the moment, and want the flexibility to re-task/mix
tasks for the devices, so keeping them all the same (core) will make it
easier for me at the moment.

I'm still learning my way around Linux, so keeping to Raspbian will also
help.

Robert,

What's the correct/current URL to use for James?

This is what is in your video (if I'm reading it right):

http://svn.apache.org/respos/asf/james/server/trunk/

But, the page doesn't exist.

Probably then your best course is to set up a test and see if James can run
with -Xmx=64m or -Xmx=128m, which is maybe the max you are going to be able
to dedicate to the application unless you have stripped the OS install down
to the bones. If you decide to give it a try, please post your findings back
to the list for others' benefit. If you want to run James, I suggest
building it from source. There is a post on my blog here:

http://blog.bonnydoonmedia.com/post.cfm/video-building-apache-james-with-ecl
ipse

That links to the Youtube video instructions, and Bernd Waibel has provided
some written instructions for the build process, also linked from my blog,

There's a new Raspberry Pi with 1GB RAM and a faster CPU (for the same
price), so I've got a better chance with that update...

I'll continue deployment on this device until the v2 rPi shows up stateside
(only available for purchase in the UK at the moment).

RE: Minimum Platform Requirements?

Posted by Chris Means <cm...@intfar.com>.
Robert,

What's the correct/current URL to use for James?

This is what is in your video (if I'm reading it right):

http://svn.apache.org/respos/asf/james/server/trunk/

But, the page doesn't exist.

Probably then your best course is to set up a test and see if James can run
with -Xmx=64m or -Xmx=128m, which is maybe the max you are going to be able
to dedicate to the application unless you have stripped the OS install down
to the bones. If you decide to give it a try, please post your findings back

RE: Minimum Platform Requirements?

Posted by Chris Means <cm...@intfar.com>.
Thanks Robert.

I'm on an rPi kick at the moment, and want the flexibility to re-task/mix
tasks for the devices, so keeping them all the same (core) will make it
easier for me at the moment.

I'm still learning my way around Linux, so keeping to Raspbian will also
help.

I don't know about James v2 versus v 3, but in my experience 512 MB RAM
would be a pretty minimal environment for any Java server app. 

If what you want is a small, low-power appliance-type device, have you
considered an Atom-based SFF PC? You can pick up a used Asus eeeBox with
HDD, 2GB RAM, and Windows 7 for not much more than a Raspberry Pi. I've been
using one of them as an entertainment PC for a few years, they are small,
quiet and consume very little power. Asus, Zotac, and many other brands
offer these machines, and they are in good supply new or used. If you keep
it on Windows, you can upgrade to 4GB RAM for ~ $15.
