Server Requirements

TermX runs virtually on any system where Docker is supported.
This means it runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows as well as container solutions such as Docker / Kubernetes.

Database

TermX requires a PostgreSQL server as data storage. You may use the existing server or install a new instance using the docker image.

• 🐘 PostgreSQL 12 or later

It’s recommended you use the latest version of PostgreSQL when possible.

Using Docker 🐳

Java and web applications are packaged into Docker containers and may run from the command line or inside any Docker container orchestration tool.

Web Server ☁️

KTS web application is web server agnostic, you can use your favourite web server (such as Nginx or Apache) or run it w/o a web server. However, you might need to put a reverse proxy in front of the web app if you require SSL offload or advanced network / DNS configuration.

Domain

We recommend using a dedicated sub-domain / domain (e.g. termx.example.com) for the TermX web app.

CPU

KTS may run on a single CPU core. However, 2 cores or more are recommended to fully make use of the background workers.
We recommend 2 cores for a database server, and 1 core for the application and web applications.

RAM

Linux systems should have at least 4GB of RAM to run TermX components. Windows and macOS systems usually require a bit more RAM.
If you use the separate virtual machines give at least 2BG RAM to the database server and 2GB to the application and web server.

Storage

Storage requirements are based on the content you will enter. The size of the code systems may vary in size from several kilobytes (in case of your small code systems) to 3 GB (in case of SNOMED).

At least 10 GB of storage dedicated to KTS is needed and 20 GB is recommended.

Additional requirements depends on the options you use

However additional modules require additional resources. Here the list of references to the pages with requirements:

• Snowstorm - Getting Started
• Minio - Recommended Configuration
• PlantUML - Server installation, ~256MB RAM, ~20 Mb SSD.
• KeyCloak - System requirements
• Sushi and GoFSH
