Running ofbiz on a AWS EC2 micro instance

[Christopher Smith]

My use case is the following.

I want to setup a eCommerce site for the dairy farmer coop that I belong to.

There will be 10 - 15 items for sale
There will be 25 user accounts
Every 2 weeks, the users will enter their orders, one per user is expected
The orders will be fulfilled every two weeks
I expect to use PayPal as the payment processor.
The ability of a user to have a "standing order" is strongly desired.

I'd like to run on an EC2 micro instance. 1 GB ram, 1 CPU.
How much storage would such a low volume site require?
How well would ofbiz run on such a small instance with the projected low
volume?

I think I could convince the coop to spring for the $6.50/month

The next instance size would likely be pushed back and the google docs
spread sheet ordering would be kept.

Thanks for your thoughts

Hi Christopher,

this is a very low traffic scenario you described so I think you can run
OFBiz on this instance. You may have to tweak some configurations to
match your available memory (Java memory sizes, OFBiz cache etc.).

Hi Christopher,

As far as I remember, the RAM available to an EC2 micro-instance is around
~640MB and not 1 GB.

That said, We are already using AWS Micro Instance for staging/testing
purposes with cache defined on instance. Its slow, but works.

There are 2 micro instances.  One is 1GB
In that constrained of an environment, I expect a 32 bit Linux and 32 bit
Java 7 would be appropriate?

I'm sure EC2 micro instance works in your case. I'm running a similar instance on Amazon linux now with the SSD version.

Yes, Java 7 is good. Go for a 64 bit version for both Linux and Java. And
configure swap partition too.

64 bit for a 1 gig instance?

Hi Christopher,

Micro instance is too small because it contain less than 1gb memory and
600MB storage.

Also your DB will take memory and storage.
