The hardware requirements for Connectware depend on factors such as message rate, message size, and storage requirements. For hardware recommendations based on your specific use cases, and we’ll recommend the appropriate hardware setup.
For a basic setup with standard functionality and typical message loads, the following resources are sufficient:
64-bit CPU with x86 architecture
4 GB RAM (minimum)
32 GB hard drive (recommended)
Linux operating system
Docker
Docker Compose
Latest stable version of Chrome browser
Docker should be installed using the official setup guide . Installing Docker by the package manager Snap is known to be causing issues and should be avoided.
Connectware is designed to operate on Linux systems, deployed with Docker Compose. Running Connectware on Windows hosts or with different container-orchestration systems is not part of the standard version of Connectware, but may be available upon request.
Full Docker support including privileged containers is necessary to run Connectware on virtual hosts.
Sufficient platforms:
VMware
AWS EC2 (e.g. using t3a.medium instances with Ubuntu 20.04)
Azure VM
Google Compute Engine
