[Resolved] Java web apps (JIRA, Confluence, ...) on Linode?
I am currently using a VPS based on OpenVZ and I've run into problems when running my JIRA and Confluence instances on it, as the Java processes take up a lot of memory (even with Xms/Xmx set to reasonable values). Apparently, this is a common problem with Java on OpenVZ, and the solution I've most often read was to switch to a Xen based VPS.
Long story short, I'm considering switching to Linode, but I would be grateful to have some information first as to whether I will be able to run these applications (or any other JVM applications for that matter) on a Linode.
I'm thinking about a 1024 which should be more than enough for JIRA and Confluence. We're talking about rather small JIRA/Confluence installations that are only used by myself, mostly to manage my school homework.
Any advise on this would be much appreciated.

If all your using is for light personal use, i think a 1024 would be overkill…
I have a 512 that runs a tomcat stack, apache, php, mysql, proftpd, postfix and courier{imap,pop} and ive never had memory issues.
and you can upgrade quite easily with only a few minutes of outage later on if you find you do need the resources
Thanks again!
