Update recommended hardware requirements #85

Open Gwalior-84 opened 1 month ago

Gwalior-84 commented 1 month ago

omSupply Recommended Requirements (https://docs.msupply.foundation/docs/introduction/requirements/) is incorrect. Please fix it, bringing it into alignment with our Legacy mSupply requirements page (https://docs.msupply.org.nz/setting_up_msupply:requirements#windows_and_mac_hardware_requirements)?

Ummm, @Gwalior-84 I don’t agree that the “technical minimum” for a server is 32Gb RAM, which you’ve put in the OG docs.

We have had 32GB RAM central servers hosting a synced system fail (chronically under-perform) due to having insufficient RAM. What do you suggest the technical minimum should be?

omSupply and mSupply are different pieces of software and while I took the original hardware requirements from the OG specs, we are still exploring the needs of omSupply running as a server. I'd also argue that your environment is something of a stretch goal rather than a technical minimum!

Perhaps a 16GB recommended for a server though?
