How funny, Trail Router also happens to be hosted with Hetzner. Right now in their auction there's a E5-1650v3, with 256GB RAM and 2x 480GB SSD for 73 EUR/mo (including VAT) - which is exactly what Trail Router runs on. That's incredibly good value for money. Lots of RAM is crucial for applications like this.

I think Doctor_Fegg means that he needs one new server per vehicle profile (?) as OSRM is used for cycle.travel and it does not allow multiple vehicle profiles unlike GraphHopper ;)

I didn't know that. I've been spoiled by the always wonderful GraphHopper. Thank you for your tireless work on GraphHopper! Trail Router and many other projects would not be possible without it.

Thanks!

And thanks for building on top of it and making a useful app :)

Well, kind of. cycle.travel runs on my fork of OSRM which does allow multiple profiles. But it still needs a separate hierarchy for each one, which would be another 14GB RAM.

Aha, thanks for sharing this, didn't know that this is possible with OSRM too
