System Requirements¶

The Anyware Trust Center is installed on a machine that meets the following minimum requirements:

Requirement
Operating System	RHEL 9 Rocky Linux 9
CPUs	4 vCPUs
Memory	16GB RAM
Disk	120GB+, including 80GB+ disk space on `/var` for persistent volumes
Network	IP network accessible by your endpoints, with configured DNS. The Anyware Trust Center does not support connections via raw IP addresses. TCP 32443 (Communication with Trusted Zero Clients) TCP 443 (Communication with OTA update CDN)
Python	The post-installation and initialization scripts require Python 3.8.2+.
Other software	The OS must have cURL available.

Note that the specifications listed here are minimums. Large or complex deployments should expect to use machines with higher specifications.

Important: A management tool is required

The Anyware Trust Center is an API service and has no user interface. The Anyware Trust Center must be able to connect to a compatible Endpoint Management Tool from a supported manufacturer.

Dark Site System Requirements¶

The Anyware Trust Center can be installed in dark sites (sites without a connection to the public internet). Installing in a dark site requires two machines: a temporary internet-connected machine to assemble the installer bundle, and the unconnected machine that will host the Anyware Trust Center. For installation instructions, see Dark Site Installation.

Bundler System Requirements:¶

Note: The bundler system is temporary

The bundler machine can be temporary, and is required when doing any of the following:

Creating an installation bundle to install a new Anyware Trust Center
Creating an update bundle to update an existing Anyware Trust Center
Downloading and installing firmware updates on Trusted Zero Clients.

You can stop or delete the machine when finished with each task. If you delete the machine, you will need to re-create when you are ready to proceed with the others.

Requirement
Operating System	RHEL 9 Rocky Linux 9
CPUs	4 vCPUs
Memory	16GB RAM
Disk	At least 20GB free space available for the generated dark site bundle.
Network	The machine used to create the bundle must be connected to the public internet.
Software	Docker v25.01+, cURL, DNF

Dark Site Machine Requirements¶

This machine hosts the Anyware Trust Center in the darksite location and is permanent.

Requirement
Operating System	RHEL 9 Rocky Linux 9
CPUs	4 vCPUs
Memory	16GB RAM
Disk	120GB+, including 80GB+ disk space on `/var` for persistent volumes
Network	A default gateway is required, even without an internet connection. If the machine does not have one, a dummy route is required for installation. See Checking for a Default Gateway for instructions.
