Node Requirements
The minimum cacheboy node requirements are:
- dual core, or dual CPU, or better
- 1 GB ram (preferably 2GB or more)
- FreeBSD 7.2 or a Linux distribution, 64 bit
- ~ 300 GB disk space for cache, logs and statistics
As the nodes are being run in a cluster, I require root access. I'm pushing out software updates, tweaking the system live, etc. This is absolutely a work in progress rather than some static and boring project; past experience has shown that trying to schedule software updates, handle emergency box changes and other kind of unexpected situations in this dynamic environment just does not work out.
That said, nothing is going to be secret, so you are also welcome to maintain root access to keep tabs on what is going on.
Please contact Adrian Chadd if you're niterested.
