Virtual machine installation

If you don't have access to an existing Kubernetes cluster, you can install SlackerNews into a VM (where an embedded version of Kubernetes will be installed as part of the app installation process).

We recommend Ubuntu 20.04, but also support the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04
  • CentOS 7.4 and up (but not CentOS Stream)
  • RHEL 7 and RHEL 8
  • Oracle Linux 7.4 - 8.5
  • Amazon Linux 2

Machine size

We recommend 16 GB of RAM and 4 cores minimum. We recommend at least 100 GB of persistent, SSD disk to run.

Installing
