System requirements
Before you start setting up the Pretendo Network server, make sure your system meets the following requirements.
Hardware
- A decent CPU
- Must be using the x64 or ARM64 architecture
- If you're using an ARM SBC like a Raspberry Pi, make sure you install a 64-bit operating system
- At least 4 cores are recommended
- Must be using the x64 or ARM64 architecture
- At least 4GB of free RAM while building the Docker containers
- The servers themselves uses about 1GB of RAM while running
- At least 10 GB of free storage for Docker images, build cache, and server data
- Using an SSD is strongly recommended, as it will be used for databases
- Network connectivity to the client console
Operating system
| OS | Testing status |
|---|---|
| Windows (Docker Desktop on WSL 2) | ✅ Working |
| Linux (Docker Engine) | ✅ Working |
| macOS (Docker Desktop) | ❓ Untested* |
*macOS is untested because I don't own the hardware to test it with. In theory, it should work.
Software
Required
Recommended
- The tnftp FTP client, which is used for automatically uploading files to the client consoles. This is most likely a package in your distro's package manager repo.
Everything else runs inside Docker containers, so it does not need to be installed.
