Installation requirements for a POC

Create an account on https://ems.element.io/user/hosting. Report back which email you used, so we use this account to give you access to the installer package.

Create a matrix.org account on https://app.element.io/#/register and report back your matrix ID, so I can invite in a room where we can support you.

Standalone server

Supported OS

    Ubuntu Server 20.04 Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL, CentOS Stream, etc.)
      6 vCPUs/CPUs and 16GB (8 vCPUs/CPUs and 32GB if enabling federation after the POC)

      Network

      Server with internet access or limited internet access

      Element Enterprise On-Premise needs to bind and serve content over:

        Port 80 TCP Port 443 TCP

        You need to make sure that your host is able to access the following hosts on the internet:

          api.snapcraft.io *.snapcraftcontent.com gitlab.matrix.org gitlab-registry.matrix.org pypi.org docker.io *.docker.com get.helm.sh k8s.gcr.io cloud.google.com storage.googleapis.com

          To be confirmed (from a message from gael)

            quay.io galaxy.ansible.com pypi.org mirror.gcr.io github.com registry-1.docker.io # according to https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/v22.06.0-beta.0/registry/config.go#L25-L55 index.docker.io

            If you need to use a proxy to access the internet, please read Configuring a microk8s Single Node Instance to Use a Network Proxy

            Server without any internet access

            Since the server cannot access the upstream repositories directly and our installer has a lot of dependencies with the OS, you need to mirror repos to provide packages for the server on your LAN that is not connected to the internet.

            You can choose a web server that will serve the mirrored repos to your LAN. You can also use a distro’s ISO file as an installation source servinfg as a local repository

            Without this requirement satisfied, our installer will fail.

            Certificates

            You need a domain for your installation and
