OJS Server Specifications

We are a University and we are planning to host OJS on our own servers. Will OJS run on Virtual Machine running on Active Hypervisor

  1. What are the CPU requirements
  2. What are the Memory requirements
  3. What are the storage requirements
  4. Can we install on Windows Server 2016 data center with IIS or we shall install it on Linux server such as Ubuntu server 20.04

Hello @zimranazim,

Please see our administrators guide for references to appropriate system requirements: Managing the Server Environment. While it is feasible to run OJS on Windows servers, we find that most find it easier using Linux servers, partially because a lot of our documentation refers to linux commands, and a good number of our users host on Linux servers and share tips based on this environment. Best of luck with getting started with OJS!

Hi @rcgillis

Thank you for sharing the details, The administrator guide only has the software requirement and we are looking for Server specification minimum requirements.
