Requirements for Server

VK Soft6 years ago

Hello,

I'm currently looking at using traccar as a backend server for our management system to allow for GPS tracking of users, vehicles and other assets. I'm looking at putting this onto a EC2 server in Amazon cloud. I am having 1000 devices and 50 users for web access. In order to this what configuration I have to setup?
RAM, HDD, and Server

Let me know please.

I would recommend 8GB RAM and SSD storage.

Hi Anton,

Would you recommend the same for a server that needs to handle 1000 devices and 1000 users however web access isn't really relevant if that makes a difference. The Traccar API and Firebase for notifications is all we need.

Thanks,
Fergal

Web access uses the same API, so there is absolutely no difference.

Okay but you recommend 8GB and SSD for 1000 devices and 50 users but would you recommend about the same for 1000 devices and 1000 users?

Probably doesn't make much difference either, but depends on usage pattern, of course.

Great I'll go with 8GB RAM, 4vCPUs, and 25GB SSD and see how that goes. Thanks for your help.

Fergal Powell, how has the specs [8GB RAM, 4vCPUs, and 25GB SSD] worked out for you, if you don't mind me asking...?

What would be server specs and best OS if I wanted to track 50k devices

Thanks !!!!
