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

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.

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

When your system meets these requirements, proceed to Configuration to learn all ways to configure Uptimer.
