B4J Question home server

[LucaMs]

I read [Server] Data Collection Solution - Device, Desktop and Web reports
I would like to ask under what circumstances it might be useful (although technically I like it very much).

I ask this because:

might be enough a home server to handle connections from the apps sold (using a db server instead of SQLite)? What should be the minimum ADSL bandwidth?

Thanks.



P.S. thinking a little more: it can be useful to install a complete solution to a customer (for example, for a restaurant, the clients (devices) to the waiters)

You can use such a server for both an intranet (local) solution and an internet (external) solution.

The bandwidth required depends on the data that you plan to send and receive.

Most sites run on very limited virtual servers together with many other sites. You can easily build a much more powerful server.

Some numbers are available here: [Server] Performance measures

Many thanks, Erel

BTW, this tutorial explains how you can make the server accessible from outside: [Server] Upload files from your B4A app to your B4J server over the internet

I forgot an important point. Hosting the server yourself is one option. You can also use almost any standard hosting service to host the server.

A VPS account (virtual private server) is usually required. It should cost about $30+ per month.
