I couldn't find it on the web or wiki. What is the minimum/recommended (Microsoft Windows) version for running latest Unimus (and 2.0 if possible)?
The reason i ask is that there are substantial differences between Windows Server versions. In regards to threading, network stack, memory organization etc.

Hi,

Officially we support Windows Server 2012 R2 and any newer Win Server releases.
I personally would recommend Server 2016.

Other recommendations:
1) if deploying more than 200 devices in Unimus, do not use HSQL
A full-grade database is recommended (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, etc.).
This is also documented in the Wiki sizing article: https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/H ... quirements

2) if deploying more than 200 devices in Unimus, adjusting memory limits is needed:
Documentation available here: https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/C ... mory+usage

3) If deploying 1000+ devices in Unimus, proper production-grade configuration of the DB server will be required.
(default configurations of DB engines lack a lot of production-grade settings, so adjustments are needed)

4) If deploying 1000+ devices in Unimus, we recommend running the server on Linux.
We do officially support Windows for deploys of this scale, but we do recommend Linux.

Hope this helps! :)

This has been exactly what I've been looking for. My task was suddenly much more predictable.
Thank you!
