Can anyone tell me how long it would take to install the following (if it’s your first time):
- TFS
- JIRA
- Subversion
on a VPS server running Windows 2008 R2?
Thanks!
As someone who’s been through this process, I can tell you it’s not a quick affair, especially on an older OS like Windows 2008 R2. TFS is the beast here - it took me nearly a full day to get it running smoothly. Lots of prerequisites and configuration steps. JIRA was easier, about 2-3 hours including some initial setup hiccups. Subversion was the quickest, maybe an hour tops.
The real time-sink isn’t just installation, but troubleshooting compatibility issues with that OS. Make sure you’ve got ample resources on your VPS - these tools can be hungry. And don’t forget to factor in time for security configurations and backups. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Plan for a full weekend if you’re new to this. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself for the extra time buffer.
hey surfingwave, it depends on ur setup and experience. tfs might take a few hours, jira about an hour, and subversion 30 mins or so. but with windows 2008 r2, u might run into compatibility issues. make sure u got enough resources on ur vps too. good luck!
