Hello,
Simple question for how RAM is used for a srcds server (1 ? 2 ? 3 ? serveurs ) and ( 200mb per server ? 400 ? 600 ? 800 ? )
Best Regards
Depends on your usage.. but:
Minimum about 200MB / server
Recommended 500MB / server
I just checked one of mine that has been running for 3 days and it's at 950MB ram usage.

pretty sure it scales up depending on how much ram you have to a certain point, i tend to find normal srcds instances use around 200-300 comfortably (around 20~ players, though not a constant 20)
I restart the computer day per day
Restarting a computer is actually not very good for it ( actually one of the most stressful things for a pc ). If you're running programs that cause it to slow down to the point of needing a restart, then something has a memory leak, virus, or malware on it...
Ram depends on what the server is for.. If you have a ton of addons / models that need to load, you could be looking at a lot more than just 500. I keep my server up for days at a time; my pc I leave on unless it needs a reboot ( I also recommend an uninterruptible power supply so the power levels stay constant )
SRCDS is a 32 bit process, that means that the most ram that 1 server can use is 4096MB. It isn't likely that the server will go up that high. Mine, when I launch it ( with little, if any, precached materials / models ) sits around the 300-320MB mark ( I have 7 games mounted.. HL2, Ep1, Ep2, DoD, TF2, CS:S, GMod ). But, it really just depends on content. DarkRP can use a LOT depending how many different kinds of props are spawned, or vehicles, etc... It really depends on content that is loaded.
Try it out, setting up a server is REALLY easy: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/server_srcds_steamcmd/setting_up_a_server_with_steamcmd.lua.html[/url]
FastDL is straightforward too: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/server_srcds_steamcmd/fastdl_setup_instructions.lua.html[/url]

what? since when is this the case..?

Restarting a physical server frequently can wear the hardware but nothing significant, this isn't the case for virtual private servers (obviously) but the point is, there shouldn't be a need for restarting the computer in the first place.
Some websites actually only restart their server once a year or even less, there's really no point in restarting your server!
If your server gets slower the more it runs, this indicates that you have a memory leak or something slowing it down, which shouldn't ever happen, the issue should be addressed rather than temporary fixing it by restarting your server each time.

I mean... no one would actually restart a [i]server[/i] randomly, but it's still not any measurable degrees more stressful than running something 24/7, obviously server hardware is aimed at running 24/7, but for a general computer we're not in the 90s anymore, read/write heads aren't resting on the platters and powersupplys are a lot better these days

Yes, I agree with you, restarting a server doesn't do any more harm that running it 24/7 but that wasn't the point of my post, what I'm saying is that if you [b]need[/b] to restart your server because it's running too slow, that means you have a problem and should take care of it rather than restarting it every time it gets slow again.
Okay thaks for your reply. :)
Turning on/off electronic components is what slowly destroys them. A computer that is always on will probably live much longer than one that is frequently turned on/off :)

Do you have any sources for that?
I doubt that a cpu's or ram's lifetime gets shortened by restarting the computer.
OP:
Use linux and you probably won't ever have to restart your computer. (unless you want to update the kernel)

Why are you make the assumption that he was speaking of those two specific parts?
Frequent restarting will slowly damage the power supply.
Slowly as in, possibly marginally? there's no real downside to restarting your pc every day, components don't lose years off their life by being turned off/on at a sensible rate, 24/7 running means a lot of heat and dust will collect which is probably more dangerous to a system than turning on and off every day or so

I am not making that assumption. He was talking about electronic components in general, which include cpus and ram.
Restarting the computer is probably not going to make any significant difference.
Let's just leave it there, the thread already derailed too much.
1gb RAM or + ?
[QUOTE=warblack31;46146979]1gb RAM or + ?[/QUOTE]
depends on how many servers, if you're being very generous i'd say 512mb of ram to 1 srcds server is plenty, you can [i]probably[/i] fit two per 512, so i'd say 1gb of ram would fit 2-3 servers, probably 4 if they're all around 20 slots
My cinema server takes about 200-250mb (24 player cap, tickrate 16)
TTT server takes about 500-650mb (24 player cap, tickrate 66)
Website and Teamspeak3 combined take no more than 250mb
Usually no more than 1.5gb of ram used in total.

And then you have your HDDS, FANS etc that will have a shorter life time if they are on 24/7. It really doesn't matter, one is bad on some things, one on some other things...
I turn my computers on/off once a day, and they work perfectly fine. The oldest one is 5 years.
The RAM is impact for the gameserver ? 1G RAM It's okay ? (3srcds, 1forum, 1teamspeak ) ?
Just an question

Does going to sleep (Windows 7) still wear down "HDDS, FANS etc."?

Not at all, at least 4gb for that.

what?
1.5-2gb is plenty for what he's asking, 1gb would probably be enough but it wouldn't be ideal

You also have to consider room for the OS and then usually want an extra go of free space just in case.
I found 2gb of dedodated wam to be perfect, not too little - but leaves room for expansion if the server is under especially heavy strain - or if you want to bump the player slots up a bit.
