What would be the minimum hardware and computing power for a child node storing a very small dataset on a parent network?

The minimum hardware and computing requirements for a child node on a Holochain network depend on the specific needs of the application and the number of transactions that the node needs to process. However, if the dataset is very small and the number of transactions is limited, a low-powered device such as a Raspberry Pi can be sufficient to run a Holochain node.

Here are some general guidelines for the minimum hardware and computing requirements for a child node with a small dataset:

  1. CPU: A low-powered CPU, such as a 1 GHz single-core ARM processor, can be sufficient for a child node with a small dataset.
  2. RAM: Holochain nodes require a significant amount of memory, but for a small dataset, a minimum of 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient.
  3. Storage: A child node with a small dataset may require a minimum of 16 GB of storage.
  4. Network bandwidth: The amount of network bandwidth required for a child node with a small dataset is minimal, as the amount of data being transmitted is low. A stable internet connection with a minimum of 1 Mbps bandwidth should be sufficient.
  5. 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.
