What are the hardware and computing requirements for setting up a node on a Holochain network?
The hardware and computing requirements for setting up a node on a Holochain network will depend on several factors, such as the complexity of the application, the number of nodes in the network, and the amount of data being processed and stored. Here are some general guidelines to help you determine the minimum hardware and computing requirements for a Holochain node:
- CPU: A modern CPU with multiple cores and threads is recommended to handle the workload of running a Holochain node. A minimum of a quad-core CPU with 2.5 GHz clock speed is recommended.
- RAM: Holochain nodes require a significant amount of memory, as they need to maintain a copy of the distributed hash table (DHT) and run the Holochain application logic. At least 8 GB of RAM is recommended, but more may be necessary depending on the complexity of the application and the number of nodes in the network.
- Storage: Holochain nodes require local storage to store the DHT and other application data. The amount of storage required will depend on the size of the application and the amount of data being processed and stored. A minimum of 256 GB of storage is recommended.
- Network bandwidth: Holochain nodes need to communicate with other nodes in the network to synchronize data and execute transactions. A stable internet connection with a minimum of 10 Mbps bandwidth is recommended.
- Operating system: Holochain runs on various operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The recommended minimum operating system requirements for running a Holochain node are the same as those of the respective operating system.
It’s important to note that these are general guidelines, and the actual hardware and computing requirements may vary depending on the specific needs of your Holochain application and network. It’s always a good idea to consult with experienced Holochain developers and review the official Holochain documentation for more detailed information.
