Requirements¶
Hardware Requirements¶
As far as hardware goes, there isn't really a hard and fast rule on what is needed. The more resources you make available, the faster API updates will occur. However, there are some minimum recommended specifications.
| Type | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Memory | 1GB of RAM with a 1GB+ swap file. Ideally 2GB+ RAM with a swap file. |
| Hard Drive Space | 10GB (used mostly by the database and the EVE API caching). Again, more is better. Monitor this closely as your installation grows! |
Warning
If you intend to process a large amount of data, plan your storage accordingly. The SeAT database can grow incredibly quickly depending on the amount of tokens you process.
Software Requirements¶
Software version requirements are based on a minimum requirement.
| Type | Requirement | Version Check |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | Linux, preferably Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS. For Windows, you will need Docker for Windows. | Usually, running cat /etc/issue should give you a good idea. |
| Architecture | 64-bit only | uname -p |
| PHP | PHP: ^7.1 | php -v |
| Database | MariaDB: ^10.2.7 or MySQL: ^5.7 | mysql -V |
| Caching Service | Redis | redis-server -v |
| Service Supervisor | Supervisor : 3 | supervisord -v |
| Web Server | nginx, Apache | nginx -v |
For docker based installations, all you need is docker and docker-compose. If you already have it installed, check your current version with docker version and docker-compose version respectively:
| Type | Requirement | Version Check |
|---|---|---|
| Docker | Docker: ^18.0 | docker -v |
| Docker Compose | Docker compose: ^1.20 | docker-compose version |
Warning
Do not install Docker directly from your distributions repositories. These are usually out of date. Instead, rather follow the steps provided on dockers official documentation
