System Requirements #
This page outlines the minimum requirements for running Uptimer (self-hosted engine behind MyUptime.Info).
✅ Software Requirements #
| Component | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Docker Engine | Any modern version (19.03+) | Just needs to support port mapping and volume mounts |
| OS | Any with Docker support | Linux is recommended for production deployments |
| Web Browser | JavaScript + XHR required | Should work even for outdated browsers. Tell us if not |
⚙️ Hardware Recommendations #
For monitoring ~1,000 checks per minute:
| Role | CPU | RAM | Disk | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Worker | 1 core | 420 MB | - | Can be scaled horizontally |
| Server + DB | 2 cores | 4 GB | 20+ GB | Handles UI, storage, notifications |
For larger workloads, scale by adding more workers or splitting services.
🌐 Network Access #
Workers
- Require outbound internet access to perform checks
Server
- Must be reachable by workers over gRPC port
- Must expose an HTTP/HTTPS port for UI access
