RE: [UPDATED] ATS-Witness is Temporarily Offline for Upgrade

in #witness • 6 years ago

Yes, the ongoing RAM greed of steemd is crazy.

Fun Fact: I could change my complete server between block producing.
No downtime needed:)
Ok, I make a block every 27h, that helps, too
:))

    Yeah thats why i'm thinking of buying a 1gb upgradable to 2gb witnes servers and or put it at home with a business internet provider 500down 50 up lateron co location. I foresee a great spike in users and usage with the new blockchain update. Im currently at 324 with 2 50gb witness servers using 29gb im just getting zram ready to ride the wave till I can afford the servers im happy that im at 324 now so i have more time to get the servers ready without glitches. I have 10 cores so i can do the processing power and squieze 100gb out of a 50gb machine. But the old zram tuturals let me crash the witness server Im working on.

      I didn't touch zram yet, but will have to in thenear future, I guess.
      50GB will be filled within the next quarter, I assume.
      HF 20 will change nothing in that regard.
      And there is no roadmap out for HF 21

        Just follow https://steemit.com/witness-category/@deltik/make-your-steem-server-last-longer-with-memory-compression

           sudo apt install zram-config
   sudo sed -i 's|/ 2 /|/ 1 /|g' /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping
   mount -o remount,size=86352M /dev/shm

        set shared-file-size = 80Gin your config.ini

        and replay steemd

        (this is for 50GB RAM node)

        I just did it and it seems to be working:)

            My finance minister would never approve a second witness node!
            :)
            It was a hard enough battle for the first one;)

                First after the zram update during the replay it stopped at 11% and there it began🙈a few days later. Begin from scratch.
