installation confluence on server

[Pieter-Jan Vanhoutte]

Hello,

I installed a trial version of Confluence on my PC, but my computer started working really slow. I want now a server version because then I can use more apps from marketplace. But I have no experience with installing on servers. So I'm from Belgium, can someone recommend a hosting-company where I can try or hire some space to put on confluence? What kind of server (Linux?)? Is it difficult if you have no experience with servers?

Second question: installed on server, does confluence work then also on every smartphone?

thank you!

Also , try using those free Linux servers that you get from AWS - not sure how much resources they could allocate under free category.

I run on 8GB - both JIRA and Confluence, well it's Windows 10 and for my personal use. But if it just for testing you can start from your machine.

For a fullfledged Production Env I am sure you will provision new servers.

Confluence and Syncrony processes consume different memory allocations so I'd suggest a minimum of 4GB.

For now, you can turn off Collaborative Editing ( Syncrony) in your current machine and see if it improves performance.

I have a core i5 4400 (quite old), with 12 GB ram.

Installed confluence here on my PC, doesn't slow.

It takes you 1GB RAM when it runs.

I think that with 16GB RAM you can do your tests, before migrate to a windows server edition or on the cloud

thank you for your answer. i have 4 GB ram on my pc, so probably not fast enough?? Can you advise somewhere a server where I pay little amount to try?

Hello @Pieter-Jan Vanhoutte, 

if you're not familiair with server administration you should look into Atlassian Cloud: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing

You won't need to handle any of the installation or configuration of the server as they provide an instance that's ready to use.

Have a look at the documentation, I think it should suits you well: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/atlassian-cloud-documentation-744721592.html

Let me know if it helps,
