274880 - Bugzilla system (hardware) requirements

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Jacob Steenhagen]

Does anybody even know what they are? Perhaps we could provide some guidelines
for what type of server you need at a minimum. It would also be nice if we could
provide some insight as to what varying levels of traffic require (fe, how much
traffic does bmo get? How does it hold up, in general? What percentage of
available resources are being used?)

Read the Bugzilla Documentation Requirements are here

I'm not talking about the fact that it works best on a linux machine nor the
software prerequesits. I know that those things are there. What I'm talking
about is actual system requirements (actually, more like guidlines) for
different size installs. It will, after all, vary as to how large your install
is. I'm sure Bugzilla could run on a 100 mHz machine if there were only a couple
of occational users, but what does it take for, say, 100 developers constantly
using it with, say, 100,000 bugs entered into the system. These numbers may be
hard to measure, but I'm sure people wouldn't mind having some basic idea of
what kind of hardware their installation is likely to need.

I'm not sure we could ever keep such docs up to date, because hardware and Bugzilla's requirements change pretty often. If you are installing a system that 100+ developers are going to use for 100,000+ bugs, then you should ask the BMO team or other big Bugzilla user for guidance at the time :-)
