Installation

Hardware Requirements

OneBody needs to be installed on a server with at least 1 GB of memory and enough free disk space to accommodate your community's needs. We recommend at least 1 GB of disk space per 100 users, but your needs may be different. (The user database is usually quite small, but documents and photos can take up a lot of disk space, so plan accordingly.)

Unfortunately, OneBody cannot be installed on "shared hosting" due to the very specific software requirements. You'll need a dedicated server or Virtual Private Server (VPS) to get everything running. We recommend DigitalOcean, Amazon EC2, or your own in-house hardware.

Install

We have many different ways to install OneBody, based on your expertise/needs. Choose your own path:

Method	Difficulty	Time Needed	Advantage
[[Debian/Ubuntu Package	Install Deb Package (Debian and Ubuntu)]] EXPERIMENTAL	Easy	~ 10mins
DigitalOcean (automated)	Easy	~ 15mins	Just two clicks
[[Amazon EC2 (AMI)	Amazon AMI]]	Moderate	~ 10mins
[[OVF (VirtualBox/VMWare)	Virtual Appliance]]	Moderate	~ 10mins*
[[Manual	Manual Installation]]	Advanced	~ 1hr
[[Capistrano	Deployment with Capistrano]]	Advanced	~ 20mins

*not counting the time to download the file
