Objects tracking limit / dimensioning server capacity

Guillermo Quiros5 years ago

Hello guys, I am new here, Latin American based of company

I am planning on installing TRACCAR, my hardware config would be as follows;

For the Database, it will be a real hardware dedicated server / bare metal ( NOT a VPS or shared seever) (Located in Miami, so fiber would be showing low latency, below 50 Ms)

-128GB DDR

  • 500GB SSD or NVMe drives over raid
  • 16 Cores / 32 Threads @ E5-2670 2.60 GHZ
  • Guaranteed speed 1 GB up and down

Datacenter in over 5 years have been down for me a total of 30 minutes (usually a fuse / breaker tripping...

For the WEB / VPS on 3 different facilities for redundancy and doing load balancing:

  • 20 GB SSD
  • 2 or 4gb ram
  • 2 vCores
  • 100 Megs speed / each one

(If need to change something, let me know

My questions would be:
1-. How many objects can I track ?

2- which is the best Database server to be implemented (MariaDB) ?

3- Stability: Which Linux/bsd distro should install???

4- I assume NginX over Apache, right ?

Based on the scenario I am describing, how many devices can I safely track before server starts getting sluggish and over heavy load

Thanks for your help, guide and advise would be always appreciated

Two bits from me
Mariadb/ MySql
In my opinion nginx is best on serving static content, apache best on dynamic.

Your suggestion points to:
MariaDB
NginX

Am I correct ?

And how many objects can we Track with that hardware ?

What will the webserver be used for? Number of devices I cant comment. I have decided to go another route. I use a vps with 10 cores and 128 gb ram. Max devices will be 500. Then I setup another vps. Server power is cheap in Europe

My Specs are for dedicated servers ( I am trying to see if I can track at least 50k devices

I don't have the best answer, for you (Anders), but I think, if you Are doing 500 device's, that sound like too.much specs

I am trying to see.if.i can at least track 50k devices.with the hardware specs... That's why I am going to keep database on a power / real server and web servers over VPS

But, I am trying to see if.i am wrong with my setup, and make the corrections now that i can instead later while in production, I don't want downtimes

I heard that 32gb RAM and 8 cores, you can safely do over 10k objects, that's what I heard ..
But as well, I may be wrong ..I appreciate if anyone can guide me on this to make sure I get this right, as well what's the most stable OS for this

Thanks !!!
