Info

Please follow Docker official recommendations when installing Docker. These URLs describe the installation process for different Linux distributions:

We also recommend using the target installation hosts exclusively for Kiuwan services. If you plan running other containers than Kiuwan's in a single-host installation, please make sure that non of them is using the following network:

172.172.0.0/16

  • Parallel processing of 2 analyses (any additional parallel analysis request will be enqueued, and it will be executed as soon as any of the running analyses finishes)
  • 50 concurrent web users or REST API calls.

Given the table above, for a single-host installation where no service is externalized the minimum system requirements are:

  • 14GB of RAM and a processor with 8 cores for Kiuwan on premises.

It is recommended that you overscale these characteristics for the OS to have resources available for itself.
