I am planning to move a jail-hosted service to a physical device and would like to hear the advices of experts here.
My service runs sshd, apache and trac (the ticket service) and I am considering getting one of the products by soekris. I know that some list users have some experience with these products so it would be very nice for me to ear if this kind of product is suitable for my project and if FreeBSD is doing well on these platforms. Also I am bit unsure about the setup I should pick: we are a hand of users for the service and I would like to know if a 64-MB Ram and a 166Mhz setup could do, or if I definitely should consider a faster CPU or more RAM. Given my actual jail based setup, is there an easy way to guess the required RAM — In the jail `top` reports a Size of 111M for the Python process, but I guess the interpreter is taking things easy when a lot of RAM is available, doesn't it? Last, are FreeBSD jails lightweight enough to run in such a constrained environment? It is not unlikely that the device evolves to run several other services (like a nfs) and I would appreciate to be able to confine services appropriately using jails. Thank you for your comments!
