I discovered owncloud and have been playing with it.  I wanted to try the virtual machine and I have been able to download it and install it.  I can even use owncloud on it.  but for some reason I can't geto any of the admin apps.  This might be because I have never really used a system setup like this or something is not right and I can't figure it out.  per the screen on the VM running owncloud.

 

https:/192.xxx.xxx.xxx:12320 is webadmin, how ever this address only caues my browser to bring up a search engine tying to find it.  Same goes for anything that has a :XXXXX  But going to owncloud itself works fine.

You may want to use the full ip address as in this example :-  https://192.168.1.4:12321

 

This will pop up a conformation window asking if you want to connect to a secure site .

Did you run confconsole?

Proxmox is one of the easiest and best performing VE's out there.

There is also openstack but I have yet to dive into that one. I beleieve some of the devs are using it?

I am the TKL resident PVE evangelist! :)

At work I run it on Phenom 1090T (~2yo 6-core 3.2GHz) with 8GB RAM (ie higher end desktop hardware). It easily copes with various VMs (inc Server 2k3 AD/DNS/file server amoung other things). Actually the 2k3 server runs significantly better as a VM (with 2 cores and 2GB RAM) on this hardware than it did originally on the old hardware it was running on (baremetal with 2 cores and 2GB RAM).

And at home I have it running on an old Core2Duo desktop hardware (~6yo 2-core 2.13GHz) also with 8GB RAM. There I have about 12 VMs (all Linux OVZ templates - mostly TKL ones) running consistently (one of which is my sons Minecraft server which cops a flogging) and they all run sweet as!

So as long as it is 64 bit capable and has VM CPU extensions (pretty much all mainstream AMD Athlon64 and on CPUs and many Intel Core2Duo on CPUs)

Not sure where you read the req's from but I have successfully run proxmox with 6 appliances on an acer laptop with 4Gb RAM. The laptop cost about $500 new but I got it free from a client that could not repair it themselves. I use this a portable server for demonstrations.

The very high specs you read probably relate to the number of VM you plan on running. Obviously the more you run the more memory and drive space you need. Multicore processors also help but unless you get an atom processor these days everything is multicore (even the atoms!).

At a minimum I would use a system with 2Gb Ram pentium 4 and as much hdd as you can throw at it.

The only theoretical max would be the OS, 64bit which can address beyond anything known today and probably will be the case for 20 years.

See this post I just made on another thread. Different appliance, but the theory is the same.
