Introduction

Read this documentation for the supported environment for your ownCloud Server. Starting with ownCloud Server 11, only Docker-based installations are supported.

Docker Host Requirements

ownCloud Server 11 is exclusively deployed via Docker. The following requirements apply to the Docker host:

Memory requirements for running an ownCloud server are greatly variable, depending on the numbers of users and files, and volume of server activity.

The operating system, web server, PHP runtime, and database are all managed inside the Docker images provided by ownCloud. No manual configuration of these components is required on the host.
