# Deployment Requirements

## Supported installation baseline

The release installer can automatically install Docker on **Ubuntu 24.04**. On other Linux distributions, install Docker Engine and the Compose v2 plugin manually.

The application database is **PostgreSQL only**.

## Installer preflight defaults

The current installer checks at least:

* 2 GiB host RAM
* 10 GiB free disk under the repository
* required published ports
* Docker Engine/daemon access

These are installer minimums, not sizing guidance for production workloads.

## Deployment topology

The current supported model is a single platform instance with PostgreSQL, API/runtime components, frontend, and reverse proxy. Multi-node clustering/HA is not a current supported GA deployment model.

## Production database

The repository ships a bundled PostgreSQL service for convenience. For production, protect the database as an internal service and apply normal PostgreSQL backup, monitoring, and access-control practices.
