Hello!
I'm planning to set up a new public keyserver. I have some questions before starting. I downloaded/compiled/installed sks from Savannah. The dump download, and db build is done. What is the resource requirements a keyserver. As I see the db is now ~5.5G. It is not problem up to ~10G permament and ~20G temporary. But I don't know anything about the CPU and bandwith requirements. I have to know some data about before I start the server. The server is located at Hungary, connected to the HBONE (National Academic Backbone Network). The site connection will be upgraded to 1 Gbit/s in this year. (But the server only have a FastEthernet interface). What is the administration way the set up the synchron peers? --- By(t)e & 73! dx de Boti & (hg4lgn, ex:hg8lgn) A member of HuLUG http://www.cab.u-szeged.hu/local/linux _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel |

It's around 7GB at my place - probably heavily depends on SleepycatDB version. With log autoremove option I have these sizes for each of directories: 6.8G . 5.7G KDB 103M PTree > But I don't know anything about the CPU and bandwith requirements.

SKS itself is very modest with usage [except when doing pbuild/build/clean], but through DB_CONFIG you can increase memory usage [around 130MB RSS at my place] and get some additional performance. My configuration is as follows: $ cat DB_CONFIG set_cachesize 0 100000000 10 set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE set_lg_max 10485760 set_lg_bsize 2097152 set_lg_regionmax 262144 > The server is located at Hungary, connected to the HBONE (National Academic > Backbone Network).

Generally more peers will cause more traffic - yet our SKS server never showed on network reports as seriuous bandwidth eater. > What is the administration way the set up the synchron peers? You e-mail here and get people to reply to you with their SKS peers. Each of you should put each other in their membership file and that's it. -- NAME:Dinko.kreator.Korunic NOTE:Standard.disclaimer.applies URL:http://dkorunic.net IRC:kre ICQ:16965294 PGP:0xea160d0b _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel |

If you hardware's that modest, I suggest going with the fast build option for the DB unless you have a LOT of time on your hands. Network bandwidth never seemed to be much. -- Michael A. Gurski (opt.

Actually, I've recently been moving SKS service around I haven't been able to do a build at all. Pbuild works, merge works too - but build always complained after first PGP keydump it has parsed and had stopped with fatal error. I resorted to merge and manual clean [rm PTree/meta; ./sks clean] and it seems working fine since then. Anyway, the merge process on all PGP keydumps lasts usually ~1 day. -- NAME:Dinko.kreator.Korunic NOTE:Standard.disclaimer.applies URL:http://dkorunic.net IRC:kre ICQ:16965294 PGP:0xea160d0b _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel |
