For a trouble-free installation of the current version of BlueSpice 5, we recommend the following system requirements.

Browser

Google Chrome

Server Environment

Container images onlyWith BlueSpice 5, the main release of the software is via container images. Manual installation on is no longer supported. Please refer to out installation guide for more information.

Native installation on Windows Server is no longer supported.

If you need a different type of installation, please contact us.

Basic Hardware Requirements

CPU: 8 Cores
Main memory: 8 GB (16 GB recommended)
Available additional hard drive space: > 20 GB (depends on the planned storage of data)

External Databases

Even though the standard container stack already has database services included, one can also configure external databases if required.

Main application database: MySQL: >= 5.6 or MariaDB >= 10.3
For "edit together" feature: MongoDB >= 4.4 ( >=8.0 recommended)

External Search Service

OpenSearch 2.x with ingest-attachments plugin

No support for ARMCurrently, installation is only supported on x86/x64 architecture. This is especially true when using Docker.
