System requirements

The following hardware and software requirements must be met, to install and operate a Relution server.

Minimum hardware requirements #

The following hardware is required to run a Relution server required:

• 2 CPU cores
• 4 GiB RAM
• 1 network card
• 10 GiB HDD/SSD
• Additional storage space for user data, operating system and other applications and programs

External resource storage #

We recommend using an external resource storage in generel, especially in these cases:

• Installation and management of native apps on Windows devices
• If native apps larger than 50 MB or in general a lot of native apps are used
• Servers with more than 5000 devices

Relution supports configuring a separate S3 compatible storage system like Minio. You can find more information at Minio Installation

Operating System #

The following operating systems are supported:

• AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux version 8 or 9
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8 and later

Software #

Docker installation (recommended) #

• Current versions of Docker and Docker Compose.

Native Installation #

The following software is recommended for running a Relution Server. recommended:

• Java 21
  • AdoptOpenJDK 21 is recommended.
• NGINX 1.8 or newer
• A supported database server.

Supported databases #

Relution supports the following database servers:

• MariaDB LTS minimum Version 10.11 or newer

Network #

• Direct internet connection
• No proxy server between Relution and the Internet

Firewall configuration #

Relution Server #

Internet access #

The following ports must be opened on the firewall for incoming and outgoing connections from/to the internet.

Internal network #

The Relution service uses these ports to communicate with external services (database, directory service, mail server). The exact configuration depends on which services are used and whether the services run on separate servers (recommended).

If the servers servers are on the same network, no additional firewall configuration should be required. All ports are TCP.

Mobile devices #

When mobile devices are connected to internal networks,additional inbound and outbound ports have to be opened so that devices can connect to Apple, Microsoft or Google servers in order to receive push to receive push messages. To communicate with Relution, the default HTTPS port 443 is required. Depending on the features to be used on devices, additional ports may be required, which can be found in the manufacturers documentation. When the devices are connected to mobile data, no additional configuration should be required.
