System Requirements¶
The Anyware Trust Center is installed on a machine that meets the following minimum requirements:
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Operating System |
|
| CPUs | 4 vCPUs |
| Memory | 16GB RAM |
| Disk | 120GB+, including 80GB+ disk space on /var for persistent volumes. The Trust Center does not support installation on Sparse (thin) provisioned disks. Please use raw or thick provisioned disks. |
| Network |
|
| Other software | The OS must have cURL available. |
Note that the specifications listed here are minimums. Large or complex deployments should expect to use machines with higher specifications.
Important: A management tool is required
The Anyware Trust Center is an API service and has no user interface. The Anyware Trust Center must be able to connect to a compatible Endpoint Management Tool from a supported manufacturer. Make sure that the Endpoint Management Tool is compatible with the Trust Center version that you plan to install.
Darksite System Requirements¶
The Anyware Trust Center can be installed in darksites, or environments without a connection to the public internet. Installing in a darksite requires two machines: a temporary internet-connected machine to assemble the installer bundle, and the unconnected machine that will host the Anyware Trust Center. For installation instructions, see Darksite Installation.
Info
The OS on the temporary internet-connected machine must be as closely identical to OS of the darksite (unconnected) machine as possible.
Internet-connected VM Requirements¶
This machine is only required while downloading packages and creating an installation bundle. It can either be powered off, or its snapshot can be archived. We recommend keeping this machine available for future use.
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Operating System |
|
| CPUs | 4 vCPUs |
| Memory | 16GB RAM |
| Disk | At least 20GB free space available for the generated Darksite bundle. |
| Network | The machine used to create the bundle must be connected to the public internet. |
| Software | Docker v25.0.1+, cURL, DNF |
Darksite Machine Requirements¶
This machine hosts the Anyware Trust Center in the Darksite location and is permanent.
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Operating System | • RHEL 8, 9 (RHEL 8 support will end in 2025) • Rocky Linux 9 • CentOS Stream 9 |
| CPUs | 4 vCPUs |
| Memory | 16GB RAM |
| Disk | 120GB+, including 80GB+ disk space on /var for persistent volumes.On ESXi or similar hypervisors, the Trust Center does not support installation on Sparse (thin) provisioned disks. Please use raw or thick provisioned disks. |
| Network | A default gateway is required, even without an internet connection. If the machine does not have one, a dummy route is required for installation. See Checking for a Default Gateway for instructions. |
| Software | DNF |
