RE: Make Your Steem Server Last Longer With Memory Compression

in #witness-category6 years ago (edited)

I have been looking around. Is there a wiki or anything with this kind of information being curated? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I'm having a hard time finding consolidated information on running witness nodes.

Sort:  

Using zram is new advice pioneered on the witness @gridcoin.science. We hope this article is the first step towards widespread acceptance of memory compression as standard operating practice, as the benefits seem to outweigh the drawbacks, if there are even any drawbacks at all!

As far as consolidated information, there's no authoritative guide nor a "right way" to run a witness. The best sources of basic witness operations have been guides that get written and rewritten periodically.

We built @gridcoin.science from gleaning information from all over the place, but there are some good guides out there still mostly relevant today like @jerrybanfield's, @krnel's, and @klye's.

I really appreciate that. Hopefully, we will see that come about. I would be happy to help, if there was a good spot for one.
