Operating Systems and Platform Support
The following table lists the supported operating systems and the versions.
Supported Platforms
The following table lists the supported platforms.
Installation on Kubernetes environments is through Helm Charts. Supported Helm version is Helm 3+.
Kubernetes Sizing Requirements
We have included YAML files with different sizing configurations for Artifactory , Xray, and Distribution in our GitHub pages. You can use these YAML files when you set up your cluster.
ARM64 Support for Container-Based Installations
Starting from version 7.41.4, Artifactory supports installation on ARM64 architecture specifically through Helm and Docker installations. When deploying Artifactory on an ARM64 platform, an external database must be set up as Artifactory does not support the bundled database for ARM64 installations. The appropriate ARM64 Container Image is automatically pulled during the Helm or Docker installation process.
Additionally, ARM64 support is available for Xray and Distribution all through container-based Installations.
Artifactory Database Requirements
Artifactory supports the following databases:
PostgreSQL
Tip
JFrog highly recommends using PostgreSQL for all products in the JFrog Platform. For more information, see Choose the right database.
Oracle
MySQL
Microsoft SQL Server
MariaDB
Artifactory HA requires an external database, which is fundamental for the management of binaries and is also used to store cluster wide configuration files.
Since Artifactory HA contains multiple Artifactory cluster nodes, your database must be powerful enough to service all the nodes in the system. Moreover, your database must be able to support the maximum number of connections possible from all the Artifactory cluster nodes in your system.
If you are replicating your database you must ensure that at any given point in time all nodes see a consistent view of the database, regardless of which specific database instance they access. Eventual consistency, and write-behind database synchronization is not supported.
The filestore is where the binaries are physically stored.
Artifactory provides the following options to store binaries:
Local file system stores binaries with redundancy, using a binary provider that manages the synchronization of files between cluster nodes according to the defined redundancy settings.
Cloud storage is done using Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Storage.
Network File System (NFS)
For more information, see Filestore Configuration.
Binary Storage
While Artifactory can use a Networked File System (NFS) for its binary storage, you should not install the application itself on an NFS. The Artifactory application needs very fast, reliable access to its configuration files. Any latency from an NFS will result in poor performance when the application fails to read these files. Therefore, install Artifactory on a local disk mounted directly to the host.
To use an NFS to store binaries, use the file-system binarystore.xml configuration with the additional <baseDataDir> setting.
Working with Very Large Storage
In most cases, our recommendation for storage is at least 3 times the total size of stored artifacts, in order to accommodate system backups.Backups
However, when working with a very large volume of artifacts, the recommendation may vary greatly according to the specific setup of your system. Therefore, when working with over 10 TB of stored artifacts, contact JFrog support, who will work with you to provide a recommendation for storage that is customized to your specific setup.
Allocated storage space may vary
Xray downloads and then deletes fetched artifacts after indexing. However, in order to have more parallel indexing processes, and thereby more temporary files at the same time would require more space.
This is especially applicable for large BLOBs such as Docker images.
Artifactory Network Ports
Artifactory uses external network ports to communicate with services outside Artifactory and internal network ports to communicate with Artifactory and other JFrog Platform microservices.
External Network Ports
Artifactory uses the following external network ports by default:
Internal Network Ports
Artifactory uses the following internal network ports.
