In order to guarantee the operation of all functionalities of i-doit, some requirements must be met by the underlying system.
Current version
The requirements shown below apply to the current version of i-doit, in this case 1.8. These requirements are adjusted for each major release of i-doit. If the requirements of older versions are needed, the change history of this page can be used.
Minimum Requirements
The following system parameters are the minimum requirements to guarantee i-doit to work with up to around 10,000 objects and up to 10 users working simultaneously.
Virtual Hardware
- 2 vCPUs
- 2 GB RAM
- 10 GB free disc space
We recommend the use of a dedicated virtual machine. The actual demand for hardware is based on the scope of the IT documentation and the amount of simultaneous users.
Operating System
- Debian GNU/Linux 8
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (with MariaDB from 3rd party repository); 16.04 LTS is currently not supported
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12, 12 SP2
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3 (Please observe the KB article with information about outdated packages!)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008, 2012
We recommend the usage of Debian GNU/Linux in 64bit architecture (amd64).
LAMP Stack
- Apache Web server 2.4
- MySQL 5.6, 5.7 or MariaDB 10.0, 10.1
- PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 (PHP 7.0 is currently not supported)
We recommend the usage of Apache Webserver 2.4, PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6.
Reference Configuration
The following system parameters comprise a configuration reference that is tested and recommended by us and guarantees high performance when used with up to 500,000 objects and a high number of simultaneously working users.
Virtual Hardware
- 2 vCPUs
- 8 GB RAM
- 50 GB free disc space
Operating System
Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (64bit)
LAMP Stack
- Apache 2.4.x (Debian default package)
- MariaDB 10.0.x (Debian default package)
- PHP 5.6.x (Debian default package)
Note
Because i-doit is a database application, it intensively uses the hard drive. Since the I/O throughput strongly determines the performance, a fast hard drive is recommended. The need for disc space can increase with intense usage of file or image storage in i-doit. The value of 50 GB is solely geared to the maximal size of the database, which can be achieved by full usage, updates and similar operations.
Client
A Web browser is needed on the client side in order to access the Web GUI of i-doit. For each Web browser the current version as well as the version prior to this are supported:
- Mozilla Firefox (including the last ESR version)
- Google Chrome/Chromium
- Microsoft Internet Explorer/Edge (disabled compatibility mode)
- Apple Safari
