RE: Debian 12 System Requirement

[CHENG YING KIT KEITH]

Dear Andersson,

Thanks for your reply.

It is because our Vendor highly recommends us to purchase a new server to 
install Debian 12. Therefore, I seek your expert opinion.

Dear Colleagues,

Can I install Debian 11 or 12 with “Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz” 
CPU?
Do they both support the following application
Nginx 1.22.1
PHP 8.2.7
Mariadb 10.11.4

On the other hand, may I know the minimum requirement of Debian 11 and 12?


For what it's worth, my main workhorse is an even older Xeon, E3-1270 about 3 
years older than yours. I installed debian 12 without even questioning if it 
worked, because of course it would, and it works extremely well! The OS is 
snappy with the default Gnome on Wayland on my 3840x1600 monitor, and that's 
with a pretty slow mid-range GPU from 2016.

You should definitely not be afraid of running debian on this machine! RAM and 
storage I/O will be your main limits.

The amd64 images support that processor.

Hi Keith,

The versions of Nginx and MariaDB in Debian 12 are those you quoted below.

The current version of PHP is 8.2.  If you particularly need 8.2.7 this could 
be containerised.

Information on Debian packages is available from

https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Debian 12 is the current "stable" distribution, which is the default option 
when searching.

Best wishes,
Gareth

Debian 11 comes with php 7.4. Debian 12 comes with 8.2.7, specifically

root@hawk:~# php --version
PHP 8.2.7 (cli) (built: Jun  9 2023 19:37:27) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.7, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v8.2.7, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
root@hawk:~# 

mariadb-server: Version: 1:10.11.4-1~deb12u1

nginx: Version: 1.22.1-9

Given that, and another consideration, I will suggest you use Debian
12. The other consideration is that Debian 11 will reach end of life
before Debian 12 will, so you are better future-proofed with Debian 12.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch02.en.html

Note that those are often minimal requirements; your application, not
Debian, will likely determine your minimum requirements.

You should probably read the installation guide,
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/index.en.html

You can get more information on specific packages at
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
