[Mayan EDMS: 2365] What hardware are you using to host Mayan EDMS?

Hi guys,

I am wondering what hardware you are using to host Mayan EDMS.
Normally I was planing to use a Raspberry as I like the fact that is does
not consume a lot of power and needs no fan.
However, as I saw a few days ago the Raspberry is not powerful enough.

Therefore, it would be greate if you could share a few information of what
you use.
I am currently thinking of a Synology DS718+.
On this I would host my nextcould an Mayan EDMS container.

Thanks for your contribution and have a nice weekend

I have a small docker swarm of 4 NUC-sized machines (mix of Core i5 and
Core i7 CPUs) plus one old laptop (Core i5); each of the 5 hosts runs
Fedora. Mayan and its database are running as two services in the swarm,
attached to a mayan-specific docker network. The docker volume runs under a
separate driver, local-persist (https://github.com/CWSpear/local-persist),
which points to a two-host replicated file system (glusterfs) running on WD
NASware disks. There's about 4TB of space for docker and the database. This
service is designed to hold the archives for our retirement community;
document loading is just now starting, so we have fewer than 100 documents
in Mayan

Wow that is an impressive setup! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Raul,

The Raspberry Pi is severely underpowered for Mayan use. I know Roberto and
Eric are big fans of the Odroid. Model C2 if I'm not mistaken. Eric has
been working on unifying the Docker images for AMD and ARM into a single
multi architecture

I search Google and found a few pages of people running Mayan on the
Synology. Nothing in terms of instructions though.

Hi Michael,

thanks for the links. I have reviewed the Odroid board. Unfortunately it is
only equipped with 2 GB memory. That is making it from my point of view not
really usable for Mayan.
The suggestion of building platform individual versions of Mayan sounds
like a good idea to me. On the other hand it would maybe make more sense to
provide the option of disabling modules that are not needed. I am for
example looking for the OCR functionality combined with a nice user
interface, the possibility to add tags and a way to search through all the
documents. Everything else, like workflows etc is not really something I
need.

However, I am still open for suggestions in matter of hardware.
Thanks
