With Dirk saying that he was now ready to switch to Mojo being
the main branch, I decided it was time to get off my backside and
setup a new server for DXspider.<br>

Hurrah! Please encourage all your friends to do the same. <br>

Overall the conversion went fairly easy, and I have the new Mojo
node running and connected back to the original mode, I did want
to check on one thing. I know from this list, that local_data
needed to created, and I know that my motd (and motd_nor) needed
to be moved over to the this directory.<br>

I'm glad that it is very easy to do [ed: I may have exaggerated that
a tad]. There are some setup things that happen on first run of the
mojo version. It appears that motd et al are not moved with the
other things. That is changed on the next release. It will move the
issue and motd file across to local_data automagically.<br>

What I am curious about is, did I need to move any other files
across to local_data? Do items like the city files need moved,
and scripts updated vs the old spider version?<br>

At the moment in local_data I see:<br>
<br>
$ ls local_data<br>
badword debug dxqsl.v1j motd rbn_cache usdb.v1
users.v3j wwv<br>
cluster.lck dupefile log motd_nor spots user_json
wcy<br>
<br>

Before I take this public in place of the old version, I for sure
want to make sure everything is working OK, as I know a bunch of
people use it while contesting, so I strive for 100% uptime.<br>

Dirk, if you see this, and recommendations on CPU and memory for
a VM running Spider. As I built this in a VM, I have it running
current Ubuntu, with 4x VCPU's and 8G of memory, and it seems
quick as heck, but then again there is nothing really connected to
it..<br>

Well WA9PIE-2 runs in a 1CPU 1GB RAM 25GB Digital Ocean droplet. But
with some recent changes to speed up simple sh/dx (sh/dx, sh/dx 100)
in scripts and bring it back "inline" so, as a result of going
through two CQWW contests, I would recommend a tad more RAM (say
2GB) to handle forking cmds (sh/dx g1tlh). 2CPUs is a nice to have,
but WA9PIE seems to run 1200 users in CQWW SSB at about 15-20% CPU
usage. But then the users don't do much except listen and ask for
headings. <br>
<br>
I would suggest what you have there is (as Rolls Royce famously said
when asked how much power the engine produced) adequate :-)<br>
<br>
I suspect a 2GB RPi4 with a 250TB SSD in a USB3 attached UASP
capable caddy will run WA9PIE's load just fine. <br>
