To host a KOB server, you'll need the following:
Performance requirements for the server platform are very modest. For years the production server for the MorseKOB system ran on an old desktop computer with a 1 GHz Pentium III CPU and only 512 MB of RAM. I have since "upgraded" the server to a Raspberry Pi to save space and use less power. The KOBServer software runs on Windows (XP or later) and Linux.
Bandwidth requirements are not very demanding. Any DSL or cable modem should do fine. It's best not to rely on a wireless connection between the server and your modem/router, however, as there may be problems with dropped packets.
The KOBServer software requires Python 2.7 or Python 3. If you're running Linux, you probably already have Python preinstalled. To install Python 3 for Windows, download the installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/. You can accept all the default options that are offered by the installer, and it's normal to see some security warnings along the way.
See KOBServer software for installation instructions.
See the Web server page for information on how to install and configure a web server.
Next we'll install and test the KOB server components.
