System requirements
Self-hosted xBit tenant requirements are dependent on the number of concurrent users, please see below how you can calculate your system requirements.
Supported CPU architectures
- x86_64
- amd64
Supported Operating Systems (OS)
Below you can find the list of support operating systems where you can deploy xBit easily.
Our crew is happy to support you with custom installations, if you can't find your OS in the list please reach out to support@xbitdcm.com or open a request on our support portal.
Linux-based distributions
xBit crew recommends running xBit on Linux-based distribution thanks to the support
with virtualization.
| Platform | x86_64 | amd64 |
|---|---|---|
| CentOS | X | X |
| Debian | X | X |
| Fedora | X | X |
| Raspbian | ||
| RHEL | ||
| SLES | ||
| Ubuntu | X | X |
Microsoft Windows-based systems
- Windows 11 64-bit: Home or Pro version 21H2 or higher, or Enterprise or Education version 21H2 or higher.
- Windows 10 64-bit: Home or Pro 21H1 (build 19043) or higher, or Enterprise or Education 20H2 (build 19042) or higher.
Windows Server dropped support for containerization so xBit is notsupported anymore above Windows Server 2019.
MacOS systems
- macOS must be version 10.15 or newer. That is, Catalina, Big Sur, or Monterey. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of macOS.
- VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must not be installed as it is not compatible with Docker Desktop.
Docker supports Docker Desktop on the most recent versions of macOS. That is, the current release of macOS and the previous two releases. As new major versions of macOS are made generally available, Docker stops supporting the oldest version and supports the newest version of macOS (in addition to the previous two releases). Docker Desktop currently supports macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, and macOS Monterey.
