Great question! I don't know the answer, but I will try to find out.
This is probably overkill, but these are the specs of the server I am running it on:
- OS: Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS
- Processor: Intel Xeon E3 1225v2
- Frequency : 3.2 GHz+
- Cores: 4
- Threads: 4
- RAM: 16 GB DDR3
- HD: 3 x 120 GB SSD
- RAID: Soft
[Edit] I am going to ask around, but it might take me a bit to get an answer.
Yes, that's an overkill for simple dev work, but only when you connect to external
steemd
full node, like in your example:wss://node.steem.ws
.You would definitely need that hardware when you want to run full node by yourself (with twice as much RAM)
Thanks!
