I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users to help out and for the experience. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle? I could restrict uploading of media if that would make a considerable impact.
Dell Inspiron 15-5000 CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U, 2 cores, 4 threads RAM: 8GB Storage: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB
Yeah it would work, but home internet bandwidth is the bigger concern here. I don’t unfortunately can’t estimate a user count.
That’s a good point. My entire household, which is just me, average’s about 500 Mbps download and 25 MBps upload. Is that pretty low for a server?
Should be fine.
