System Requirements

The open source version of OpenOps is meant to be deployed on-premises and is distributed as a Docker Compose specification.

​

Hardware

Hardware requirements vary depending on your use case. There are two primary groups of use cases:

• Exploring OpenOps and building automations. For these purposes, 2 CPU cores, 8GB RAM, and 50GB storage should be sufficient.
• Production use and running your automations. For this scenario, aim at 4 CPU cores, 16GB RAM, and 100GB storage.

​

Operating systems

OpenOps can be deployed on the following operating systems:

• Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or later, Debian 11 (Bullseye) or later, Fedora 35 or later.
• macOS: macOS Big Sur (11.x) or later.
• Windows: Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, or Windows 11.

​

Docker

OpenOps is distributed as a Docker Compose file. Here are Docker version requirements by operating system:

• On Linux: Docker Engine v20.10+ and Docker Compose v2.x.
• On macOS: Docker Desktop 4.11 or later. If you’re running macOS on an Apple Silicon processor (M1 or M2), make sure that QEMU emulation is used in Docker Desktop.
• On Windows: Docker Desktop 4.11 or later. Docker Desktop should be configured to use WSL 2 (check Docker Desktop settings under General > Use the WSL 2 based engine).

If you’re using an alternative Docker client such as OrbStack or Colima, make sure that the version of your Docker client includes Docker Engine v20.10+ and Docker Compose v2.x.
