Docker, mssql requirements, an the overbloated software development system of the moment #110

Closed Zamana closed 6 years ago

In the beginning I was excited about this project. A chance to get rid of Keepass and use something more "web based". For a company, running a self hosted system is much better than using a database that an [ex]employee can keep at home...

I then tried to deploy Bitwarden on my self hosted humble AWS AIM machine, with just 1GB of RAM, and after some hours banging my head, I realized that mssql was continually restarting (or, better said, was not running) because it requires "at least 3250 megabytes of memory".

Ok, I can upgrade my machine. No problema with that. But in the end this whole thing seems to bloated and fancy to me. It seems too much for too little. A programmer's toy. And I'm a programmer.

Djizussss! We are talking about a database for passwords... Why it needs to be sooooooo complicated? Docker??? We really need this?

I hope that someone (not me) forks this code and do something simpler.

I am not really sure what you have opened this issue to suggest? That we change our technology stack?

We have updated the install docs to make the Linux RAM requirements more clear.

@kspearrin here's a comment from one of the collaborators of the mssql-docker project advising that they are going to lower the requirement to 2GB. Sure people's perception that even 2GB for a password manager might still be too high it is still 50% less than what it was originally which might appeal/make it more accessible to a greater range of people.

@OhjeezwhathaveIdone That's great! We'll be able to reduce the requirement for bitwarden installations to whatever the minimum for sql server is.

The minimum memory requirement for the mssql-server-linux container image has been reduced to 2 GB as of the SQL Server 2017 CU2 release (:2017-CU2).

Not the whole stack! but why in blue blazing hell would I want my password data in a microsoft product?!? encrypted binary blobs I hope, but still what a poor choice. Let me leap out of the frying pan (lastpass/logmein) and jump directly into the fire (microsoft).
