Est-ce que vous envisagez de proposer l'installation de PMB, logiciel de gestion de bibliothèque assez répondu ?
Jordan-LWS Official answer

Bonjour,

Je vous remercie pour votre message

Actuellement, nous ne proposons pas l'installation de PMB étant donné les ressources nécessaires recommandées par l'éditeur, il est tout de même tout à fait possible d'installer ce type de logiciel de gestion sur un VPS, voici les recommandations faite par l'éditeur :

Machine virtuelle/physique : 

  • Processeur 4 Cœurs
  • 8 Go de mémoire vive (RAM)
  • 50 Go d'espace disque.
  • Système d'exploitation : Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RedHat, ....

 

Il est tout de même à noter qu'un tas d'autres prérequis sont demandé, après vérification avec le service concernée, cela ne devrait pas poser de problème pour l'installer à condition d'être sur une formule de type VPS M au minimum. 

Malheureusement, nous ne proposons pas l'installation de ce type de logiciel de gestion et l'installation devra être réalisé par vos soins, une documentation est mise en place par l'éditeur et cette dernière est tout de même très bien fournis en termes d’instructions/renseignements.


Je vous remercie pour votre attention et reste à votre disposition pour toute autre question ou complément d'information. Vous pouvez nous contacter directement depuis votre espace client aux besoins.

Cordialement, L'équipe LWS.
