    Introduction

    We offer two ways to use PrizmDoc Server:

    • Docker - We recommend using our Docker solution over any specific Linux platform to simplify your PrizmDoc Viewer deployment and maintenance.
    • Traditional Linux Platform - If you prefer to use a non-Docker method, this section provides information about the system requirements for PrizmDoc Server when using the PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted installation.

    NOTE: PrizmDoc Viewer is only supported on 64-bit operating systems.

    PrizmDoc Server

    PrizmDoc Server is a suite of RESTful APIs that control document conversion processes. It requires significant memory and processing power.

    Supported Operating Systems

    For the traditional Linux platform (self-hosted install), we support the following:

    • CentOS 6, 7
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7
    • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS

    Hardware Requirements

    Requirements vary greatly based on usage and it is generally a good idea to find what best fits your expected usage. The Sizing Guide is a good place to start understanding what resources PrizmDoc Server uses and how to optimize them for your needs.
