How much memory does the local installation running on redis consumes?
Server
-
Hello, I would like to start a new nodebb forum, and I'm just searching for the perfect Server for my needs. I need to scale the nodebb forum , there will be some polls on the site from a livestream and so i expect more then 1000 simultaneous users... maybe 2000.. would like to hear some recommendations, before I buy the server... I still have a i7-6700 4 cores, 64 ram, so maybe that's enough for my need. But I sadly can't try it out, it needs to work at the livestream without any 503 errors... thank you for any advice...

Those specs are decent. I think your primary bottleneck will be bandwidth.
-
1000 MBit/s Right now, how many nodebb processes would you recommend?
-
Typically 1 less then the number of threads on the CPU
-
I have the 6700 as well, it has 4 cores/8 threads, so 6 or 7 processes would probably be good. I'd suggest using a Mongo + redis setup as well.
-
So i don't need to have threats for the database? So my server 's got 4 cores, 8 threats, so i use 7 7 nodebb processes?! Seems there's no estimate like +- 300 users per process?
-
It's impossible to tell you how many users each process can handle as it depends on how many processes there are, how powerful each core is, etc.
You probably want a thread for each database, so if you do run Mongo+Redis, I'd say 6 nodebb processes.

Oh nice, have you any traffic Spikes tested? How would you scale if you need to? 1 extra Server with the same specs?
