28.2. Composer System Requirements
Use a virtual machine to run Composer, because the underlying
lorax tool performs a number of potentially insecure and unsafe actions while creating the system images. The environment where Composer runs should meet these requirements:
| Parameter | Minimal Required Value |
|---|---|
|
System type
|
A dedicated virtual machine
|
|
Processor
|
2 cores
|
|
Memory
|
4 GiB
|
|
Disk space
|
20 GiB
|
|
Access privileges
|
Administrator level (root)
|
|
SElinux
|
Off (permissive mode)
|
|
Network
|
Connectivity to Internet and to a system with repository mirrors
|
Apart from the virtual machine that runs Composer itself, another system is needed to provide mirrors of Red Hat content delivery network (CDN) package repositories.
Important
Composer is available as a Technology Preview. See the Technology Preview Features Support Scope for more details.
Customers deploying Composer are encouraged to provide feedback to Red Hat.
