System Requirements

The minimal requirements for setting up the Filetransfer Appliance are

  • i386 type system (All variants of Pentium and compatible processors are fine, including VMware)
  • SCSI or IDE cdrom when installing on a physical system. The OpenBSD bootloader does not support USB cdroms unfortunately.
  • 4 Gb of hardrive space. This will not leave a lot of room for data, but is adequate for a simple test installation
  • 384 Mb of RAM

The recommended configuration for the Filetransfer Appliance are

  • i386 type system (All variants of Pentium and compatible processors are fine, including VMware)
  • SCSI or IDE cdrom when installing on a physical system. The OpenBSD bootloader does not support USB cdroms unfortunately.
  • At least 16Gb of harddrive space (or to cover as much data as needed + approximately 1Gb for system files)
  • 512 Mb of RAM

Server Hardware Compatibility

The base operating system for the Filetransfer Appliance is OpenBSD which was selected for its security, general stability and overall quality. Installations on dedicated hardware, using the ISO image, requires that the system is compatible with OpenBSD. For general systems, there are rarely any problems as the OpenBSD hardware support is generally very good. Please see the OpenBSD hardware compatibility list for a complete list of supported hardware.
