Nice, thanks... this weekend will do a trial with a 4 core, 4 GB VM (disk I have plenty, but I wanted to understand how far can I plan something if committing). If that plays out nicely, I will be grabbing a new CPU/board/ram for a nicer thing.
15GB for a start is not that bad (assuming it has already all the previous history of hive-engine)... so, hopefully not going to be 30GB next week... that kind of growth would be already hard for me to sustain.
Thanks for the guide too... helps speed up stuff.
That should be more than enough. It ran fine on 2 cores and 2 gb + 2 gb swap while testing. Disk growth is probably biggest thing.
