Operating system recommendations

Process Mining and Mining Prep run on any host or system that supports Docker containers. Appian prefers to run deployments with Docker CE/EE on Linux and specifically on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is one of the few officially supported Linux distributions for the Community Edition of Docker, which ensures well-tested updates without a need to purchase an additional license for Docker.

Other Linux operating systems recommended and tested by Appian and officially supported by Docker include:

• RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
• Debian

The following Linux distros are not tested by Appian and we can’t guarantee an out-of-the-box installation.

• Fedora
• Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)
• Oracle Linux
• CentOS

Recommended system capabilities

• Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04/20.04. Ubuntu is preferred, other mainline Linux distributions are suitable as well.
• Hardware: Must support virtualization. For an optimal experience, the hardware should be dedicated to Appian software and support virtualization.
• RAM: 64 GB (depending on data size)
• CPU: Minimum of 16 (virtual) cores
• Disks:
  • Min 32 GB (root)
  • 256 GB data (mount at /var/lib/docker, preferably SSD)
• Required software: Docker CE (or EE); docker-compose
• Inbound traffic to the host:
  • 443 TCP (HTTPS)
  • 80 TCP (HTTP) (optional). Port 80 will redirect to 443, we configure HTTPS and set the secure flag on all cookies.
  • 22 TCP (SSH). For managed deployments only. We use SSH to access Linux machines.
• Outbound traffic to the internet:
  • download.docker.com
  • docker.io
  • Standard OS package repositories
• Networking: Unrestricted between hosts
• DNS: Entries point to all hosts
