Prerequesites

Minimum

WordOps is very lightweight, it doesn’t require a lot of resources and can be installed on low end devices like Raspberry PI. Minimum requirements are:

• ~100MB of storage
• 512MB RAM

Recommended

However, if you are going to use WordOps in production, some services like MySQL or Redis may need more resources, and running WordOps stacks without enough resources could impact your sites performance. Resources usage also highly depend on your site traffic.
 
Recommended hardware configuration for production:

• Multi-core CPU
• 20GB SSD storage
• 2GB RAM

Virtualization

The following virtualization platforms are supported:

• VMware
• XEN
• OpenVZ
• KVM
• Hyper-V
• LXC / LXD

 
 
WordOps is also compatible with Ubuntu running on Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL).

Server configuration recommendations

Server hostname isn’t only a name, it’s the server public identity on the network. If your server is directly connected to internet(not behind a NAT), it should have a valid hostname.

A valid hostname should looks like : myservername.yourdomain.tld

- myservername is the server name
- yourdomain.tld is one of your domains

To edit hostname properly, use the command :
hostnamectl set-hostname 

To apply the new hostname, a reboot is required.
The last step and the most important, you should create the proper DNS records to make the subdomain myservername.yourdomain.tld pointing to your server IP.
