Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell on a VPS

It's a synchronization node for my VPN application written in Haskell. All it has to do is catch UDP packets, and keep a teeny tiny amount of state. I just don't have the resources to host that my self in a reliable way. On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 11:44 AM, Anton van Straaten wrote:

3MB?  You're going to host "Hello World" on a VPS?  ;)

Yeah, it crossed my mind, but since my application only uses 3MB of memory in Linux, I think I'll be ok. :)

No, I just want to know if there are any gotchas in the typical VPS setups that for some strange reason wouldn't like Haskell binaries. I couldn't think of any, but I miss details some times.

One detail you should check is that the VPS has enough memory for the Haskell applications you intend to run.  RAM tends to be the most constraining factor on cheaper VPSes, and Haskell apps aren't always the most lightweight users of RAM.  (At least, mine aren't.)
