Software requirements

Operating System

The server-side components of the Authoring Platform are recommended to be installed on x86_64 / amd64 Linux operating systems where Docker Engine is available. See the list of supported distributions by Docker:

Install Docker EngineDocker Documentation

Here is the list of distributions that we suggest in the order of recommendation:

• CentOS 7

• Ubuntu 20.04 (or 18.04)

• Debian 10 - Buster

Software packages

Before starting the actual deployment of the Authoring Platform make sure that the following packages are installed and configured properly:

• Docker Engine

• docker-compose
• ability to execute bash scripts

Firewall

Regardless of having a reverse proxy, the following port must be opened to let the Snow Owl thick client communicate with the Terminology Server:

• tcp:2036

In case a reverse proxy is used, the Terminology Server requires two ports to be opened either towards the intranet or the internet (depends on usage):

• http:80

• https:443

In case there is no reverse proxy installed, the following port must be opened to be able to access the server's REST API:

• http:8080
