System Requirements
The following specifications will run a new, empty instance of OpenWISP. Please ensure you account for the amount of disk space your use case will require, e.g. allocate enough space for users to upload floor plan images.
Hardware Requirements (Recommended)
2 CPUs
2 GB Memory
Disk space - depends on the projected size of your database and uploaded photo images
Keep in mind that increasing the number of celery workers will require more memory and CPU. You will need to increase the amount of celery workers as the number of devices you manage grows.
For more information about how to increase concurrency, look for the
variables which end with _concurrency or _autoscale in the
Role Variables section.
Software
A fresh installation of one of the supported operating systems is generally sufficient, with no preconfiguration required. The Ansible Playbook will handle the installation and configuration of all dependencies, providing you with a fully operational OpenWISP setup.
Important
Ensure the hostname of your target machine matches what is in your Ansible configuration file. Also, please ensure that Ansible can access your target machine by SSH, be it either with a key or password. For more information see the Ansible Getting Started Documentation.
