Does anyone have any experience of running OpenKM on a low-end VPS (ie. Linux, 2 or 4 vCPUs, with 2GB RAM)? Is the Community Edition usable for a small number of users (say 5 max?)

The docs say that "It is recommended to have 2 GB RAM". However, I'm sceptical - I don't normally run Java apps, but Eclipse on my modern Linux laptop (with 16 GB RAM) can be very slow, and occasionally crashes.

2 cores may be enough ( better if you have 4 ) but I suggest at least 6GB of ram, 4GB to the application and 2GB free for the OS
