Install Xibo on Wendows Server

[mhmd]

Hello Xibo Community,

I am planning to deploy a self-hosted Xibo digital signage solution on Windows Server. Before proceeding, I want to ensure that my environment is properly set up to meet the requirements of Xibo, ensuring smooth operation and optimal performance.

Could anyone please share the detailed minimum system requirements for running a self-hosted Xibo CMS on a Windows Server? Specifically, I’m interested in:

The recommended version(s) of Windows Server.
Processor (CPU) specifications.
Minimum RAM requirements.
Storage recommendations.
Any specific configurations or dependencies that need to be addressed, such as PHP, MySQL/MariaDB versions, or web server configurations.
Additionally, if there are any best practices or recommendations beyond the minimum requirements that could enhance performance or reliability, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to contributing to and learning from this community.

Best Regards

This is my setup:

Windows Server 2022 Standard
Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed Ram: 8.00 GB
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I installed the following in a VM:
Docker Desktop v4.20.0
Xibo CMS 4.0.9

I followed the directions on the Xibo website, I used PowerShell to run the linux commands and it installed everything I needed including MySQL 8.0. I made changes to config.env and everything seems to be working.

If your Windows Server is only used for Xibo, I can give you an advice, use a Linux distribution like Debian.
It’s not complicated, or even less complicated than on a Windows Server.
