Dear all,
+1 !
Thanks to those who sent me some details and links.
My node is up and running on 5.56.40.1:8333
Techno : Linux HA + dual homed Internet transit.
It should be stable as from now.
Best regards

There is a stats script running on this node;

If you are considering running a full node (or think you are running
one), you should read the comments here:

Hi Francis,
Here are some rough guidelines for you, based on the statistics from my
node:
disk usage: about 30GB currently for the blockchain data. It'll only
keep growing from here, but relatively slowly.
cpu usage: pretty much nothing, after you have synced the blockchain.
ram usage: after it runs for a few months, my node gets up to using 1.5
GB of ram or so.
bandwidth usage: my node averages about 500GB of traffic per month, most
of it outgoing.
Hope that gives you a rough idea of what you can expect for running full
node.
Best,
Daniel

There's some statistics on this site:
https://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size
It may be reasonable to assume 10GB growth a year. When I was running a
full node I gave it a disk of 50GB.

I host charts of my node's system metrics at http://statoshi.info/#/dashboard/db/system-metrics
Note that the CPU spikes are abnormal as I'm making automated RPC calls to query the UTXO set.
My node's bandwidth usage chart can be found at http://statoshi.info/#/dashboard/file/default.json?panelId=1&fullscreen
