From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Docker OnlyOffice HW requirements are a bit... Odd?
What, you don't have 6 cores and 12GB of RAM on your 2€/month VPS?
I have that on my RPi 50B! /s
We joke, but I actually have an 8-core Orange Pi with 16GB RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD that performs really well running Debian/Gnome!
Yes, I know these are far more powerful than RPi4s. I just wen with RPi because of cost and community...
If only. A server with 6 cores and 16GB of RAM costs like $14 per month.
Well, actually, it's free if you use the free servers Oracle gives away, but those are ARM and you only get 50mbps.
Link please?

Your comment made me check that, and yeah, those requirements can be extreme for someone like me who look to use it for two pcs and a phone on a 6th gen intel nuc
I run the Community Edition of OnlyOffice documents server on my home server in Docker. My server has a Core i77 7700 and 32GB of RAM. And tons of other Docker containers. No issues.
I mean... My "servers" are a cheap VPS with 2 GB ram and a RPi 4 with 4 GB ram. Doubt any of them would be able to run OOCE decently.
I was curious, so I took a look at what it was using. At idle, it sits at 927.4 MB, and 0.1% of my CPU (the 7700 is only a 4 core CPU). I opened and edited a Word document on OnlyOffice (I have it connected using the Nextcloud connector). It spiked to 1GB of RAM, and momentary spikes to 35% of CPU, and then back down to 0.1-0.2% of CPU. I'd say it's worth trying at least. Worst case scenario, you delete the Docker container if it's unworkable.
However, I think the Community Edition is lighter than advertised.
Oh, well. Thank you for your test. I may give it a try, then.
Those specs seem likely to be extrapolated from the resource usage of their SaaS solution 😳
Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ended up needing that though, some game servers for example will happily chomp down 10GB+ of RAM with just two people online doing nothing
Or rather they want to discourage self-hosting in favour of their SaaS.
But the OO Document server will happily run with about 1gb RAM and small CPU use.
edit: ah this is about the full OO suite. Well most of that is written in bloated asp.net so no wonder.
