Chapter 4. Advanced Installations > Advice for Installation

Advice for Installation

In a test environment, the standard setup of your distribution will do, but if you are planning to set up Scalix in a production environment, you should consider the following:

  • Set up a minimum of four partitions: swap, boot (/boot), root (/), and var (/var).

  • Use a volume manager for the /var partition. LVM and EVMS are enterprise-level volume managers on Linux.

  • Install a minimal system of your distribution. Each software package installed is a potential source of bugs, performance loss, and complexity. Disable all services that you do not need and install only the software needed.
