Minimal Hardware for running Monerod and P2Pool (feddit.de)

Can anyone give me an idea what the minimum hardware requirements are for letting monerod und P2Pool run on the same machine. The machine should only do the managing part not mining.

What are the importand specs? CPU Speed? Ram site? Storage?

Does it even work on something like an old Cubietruck etc?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Btw really happy finding out that the Monero Community also exists on Lemmy.

I'm currently running it in a VM with 1.25GB of RAM with SSD-backed storage. This weird amount of RAM was chosen by looking at the high-water mark of memory usage, because the physical host the VM was on for a while was limited in RAM.

Works great. Zero problems. Much of the time it doesn't even use close to the full 1.25GB.

Edit: you definitely want SSD-based storage for monerod in 99.9% of cases.

Edit 2: this setup stays below 10% CPU usage in nearly all cases when given 2 virtual cores on an i5-8500T. Very low utilization.
