Requirements

Server, Docker, network, database, and licensing prerequisites.

Server

  • Dedicated 64-bit Linux server for production.
  • AMD64 (x86_64) or ARM64 (aarch64) architecture.
  • Docker Engine 24.0.0 or newer.
  • Docker Compose 2.20.0 or newer.
  • At least 2 CPU cores and 4 GiB RAM; 4 cores and 8 GiB are recommended.
  • At least 20 GiB free for Docker and operational headroom.
  • Correct system time and timezone.

Docker Desktop on macOS can be used for evaluation when its Linux VM meets the same resource baseline.

Network

The server needs outbound HTTPS access to OneView licensing and release services and to configured KYC vendors. It also needs network access to the client PostgreSQL host.

Automatic HTTPS requires inbound TCP ports 80 and 443. Ngrok evaluation and other external-proxy deployments use an outbound connection instead.

PostgreSQL

Prepare a dedicated, empty PostgreSQL database and user. The database must be reachable from the OneView server and should use hostname-verified TLS in production. Encrypted connections without identity verification are supported for evaluation or separately trusted networks when the provider cannot present a verifiable certificate. The client is responsible for backups, monitoring, availability, and retention.

Do not connect two independent OneView installations to the same database. A restored or redeployed copy may reconnect only through the approved server-migration or disaster-recovery workflow using the complete coordinated recovery set.

License

OneView supplies:

  • A license key.
  • A one-time activation code linked to that license.

The license must be active, valid for the current date, and within its installation limit. The server must remain able to renew online license leases.
