Time per week necessary for admin

Dear Small-Scale Admins, Thank you for the advice during last week's meeting. In the event we choose Galaxy (which we are leaning towards), I would be responsible for setting up the Galaxy instance as well as the initial maintenance. While a sysadmin would do the long-term maintenance. As such, we were wondering, in your experience, for those who wish to answer: 1. How many hours per week are necessary for purely admin-related maintenance on a local Galaxy instance (used by let's say 50 users) ? * Not the time for developing custom tools, as users would be expected to do that (they already do this outside of Galaxy) * Not the time for end-user assistance, as we plan to create in-house tutorials * Just the time necessary for e.g. restarting Galaxy, creating a back-up of it's database, repairing in case of a crash, ... * Ideally this time would be low or even zero outside of upgrades. But that is probably being idealistic. 2. How stable is Galaxy? I imagine crashes are rare. 3. Are there any time-consuming admin. tasks that I am not aware of/did not mention above? 4. Galaxy version upgrades 1. How often is it recommended to upgrade the Galaxy version? 2. What are the consequences of not upgrading for a while, apart from Python min/max version incompatibility? 3. How much time does an upgrade usually take? 4. I am also worried that if I fork Galaxy to modify the engine (which I plan to do slightly) there will be merge conflicts in the future. This would make upgrades even harder, but I don't see a way around it. Apart from maybe proposing the features to be merged into the main Galaxy repo, although they may be too specific.
