Minimum Requirements

Before deploying DronaHQ Self-Hosted, ensure your environment meets the following system, software, and networking requirements.

Machine Specifications​

  • Operating System: Linux (VM, cloud instance, or on-prem) / MacOS
  • CPU: 2 vCPUs
  • Memory: 8 GiB
  • Storage: 60 GiB
  • Network: Active internet connection for downloading dependencies and updates

Software Requirements​

  • Essential Linux Packages: curl, wget, git, unzip
  • Containerization:
    • Docker Engine
    • Docker Compose
  • Text Editor: Any editor of your choice (e.g., vim, nano, VS Code)

Networking Requirements​

Ensure the following ports are open for proper communication:

  • Port 22 (SSH) – Allows secure access to your instance for configuration.
  • Port 80/443 (HTTP/HTTPS) – Enables access to the platform via a web browser.
  • Port 8080 (Optional) – Used for direct access to the Node.js service (bypassing the web server).
  • Outbound Access – Required for DronaHQ licensing verification:
    • URL: https://license.dronahq.com
    • IP: 52.203.193.48

Database Storage​

By default, deployments include containerized instances of MySQL, MongoDB, DronaHQ, and NGINX (web server). However, we strongly recommend externalizing the databases for stateless deployments to improve maintainability, scalability, and reliability.

  • MySQL: 8.0.36 or later
  • MongoDB: 5.0.11 or later
