Private Pool - Complete Newbie

[Exposed]

Hi,

So i've used the "search function" and could find limited information.

I am looking to setup a private pool for only me to use, what do I need for back end and front end? (Front end needs to be really simple, just a way to track hash rate and releasing reward payout to my btc)

As far as I know back Pushpool or P2pool or no? (Could find old 2011 topics) and front end I have no idea?
Also how many VPS's do you need? Just 1 and run Backend+Frontend or 2 for front end and diff for backend?

Could someone help me out here?

backend http://poolserverj.org/ and bitcoind
frontend if you want a portal, look at https://github.com/simplecoin/simplecoin
I would do 2 for secure, so it would be poolserverj on a VPS with bitcoind and simplecoin on it is own.

Thanks for your quick reply!

What sort of server specification do I need? I presume the front end VPS doesn't need much, maybe a 512MB RAM and 5GB or something?

I expect I need a better VPS for backend? If you could give me a sample configuration for say 50GHz

I would say 512mb 5gb for frontend is good, and only if you really need it

backend yea I would get a 2gb at least maybe 4gb just to be safe and you need a good amount of space since the blockchain is at ~2.7gb so i would get like a 30gb VPS and you should be good

Thanks so much for your help, I've gone for:
2048MB guaranteed RAM
4096MB burst RAM
105GB HDD
Unmetered BW
100mbit

Can always upgrade if required, is their any guides on setting up poolserverj? What OS is required?

------------------------------

I've used this guide:
http://devtome.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Setup_a_Merged_Mining_Bitcoin_Pool_with_PoolServerJ
(Ignored the name coin)

Used the latest bitcoind 0.6.3 instead of the one on the site and no errors, just waiting for blocks to update then will start poolserverj

[gweedo]

yea that is good, bandwidth isn't a big deal since it would be a small amount. Yea that looks fine to me and for OS I would say Ubuntu or debain should be good to go, I mean poolserverj is written in java so any OS will work that can run java.
