RT on AWS EC2 Micro as a Community AMI?

Has anyone successfully been able to install and configure RT Request Tracker
on a AWS EC2 Micro instance?

A “Jeevan” seems to have succeeded but on a “Small” rather than a “Micro”
(read free) EC2 instance:

I also found these:

http://superuser.com/questions/518776/request-tracker-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-ec2-instance-with-rds
(again Jeevan?)

Maybe one of the seasoned RT admins here could share a free Community
Contributed AMI (Amazon Machine Image) so that people can have a play around
with RT quickly?

Anyhow, just a thought

Hi Geert,

I have tried this (Apache and MySQL) a few weeks ago and hat to switch
from a Micro to a Small instance because the 613 MiB RAM of the Micro
instance isn’t enough.

Hi,

You could try replacing Apache with Nginx, this would reduce your
memory requirements.
Don’t know whether it would get it low enough to run reasonably though?

Best Regards

Apache/Nginx will definitely need tuning. You’d probably do best to run
RT as an external process, either FastCGI or a pure-Perl backend
(Starman/Starlet) which the frontend proxies.

You’ll need to tune all of the above down to a reasonable process limit
so that it all fits without swapping. Should be possible, but you’ll be
restricted in how many clients you can serve at once. Keep in mind that
each incoming email is also an HTTP client.

Hi,

Installed on micro with nginx and external forking fcgi (10 processes - ok
to serve 100 user with medium activity) and even a bit of memory left. It’s
with default RT config, for example loading less translations helps a lot.
It was also 64 bit system, 32 bit in this case would give another memory
win.

With some tricks it took less then two hours to setup EC2 ubuntu instance,
RDS mysql instance, compile and install custom perl, all perl modules from
CPAN, install nginx and configure web server. The only thing I didn’t do
today is registration to access AWS.On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 6:50 PM, Geert Claes geert.wl.claes@gmail.comwrote:

Excellent! Just let us know here when a Community Contributed AMI is
available.

Thanks heaps!
