I want to setup my test/dev environment for Alfresco on Rackspace cloud, since I'm already using their services.

Now, Alfresco needs 2 things: tomcat + some filesystem (1 gig max would be ok for start), and a mysql database.

Now, I've never been setting up anything like that, so I'm looking for recommendations. Is it feasible and what do I need, so I can run it only when testing (and ditch one of the boxes from under my desk)?

Thanks

You correctly listed most of the things you require to get Alfresco up and running. The only recommendation I have for you is about physical memory: experience says that Alfresco needs at least 512m to run, plus ~256M of PermGen space. I'd say you need 1G RAM box.

  • Thanks. Also, rackers helped me, they said I should take a 4GB box so I can work with mysql on the same box too. – Zlatko Jun 17 '12 at 00:03
