To upgrade from a version below 6.10.x, you first need to upgrade to version 6.10.x (or any 6.x version above 6.10.x) as described in the Upgrading Artifactory 6.x documentation, and then continue to upgrading from version 6.10 to 7.x.
Before you proceed, see System Requirements for information on supported platforms, supported browsers, and other requirements.
Artifactory system requirements depend mainly upon the expected amount of active clients.
Number of Active Clients | Processor | Memory | Disk Space |
|---|---|---|---|
0-20 | 4 core CPU | 4 GB | Based on the expected artifact storage volume. Fast disk with free space that is at least 3 times the total size of stored artifacts. |
0-100 | 4 core CPU | 8GB | Based on the expected artifact storage volume. Fast disk with free space that is at least 3 times the total size of stored artifacts. |
100-200 | 8 core CPU | 12 GB | Based on the expected artifact storage volume. Fast disk with free space that is at least 3 times the total size of stored artifacts. Backup SAN is recommended. |

If you want to use webhooks troubleshooting and store the webhooks troubleshooting data in a Redis database, you need to install a Redis server. We support Redis 7.x. For more information, see Webhooks Troubleshooting.Webhooks Troubleshooting
Operating Systems and Platform Support
The following table lists the supported operating systems and the versions.
Product | Debian | RHEL | Ubuntu | Amazon Linux | Windows Server |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Artifactory | 10.x, 11.x | 8.x, 9.x | 20.04, 22.04 | Amazon Linux 2023 | 2016 or 2019 |
Supported Platforms
The following table lists the supported platforms.
Product | x86-64 | ARM64 | Kubernetes | OpenShift |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Artifactory | 1.19+ | 4.13+ |
Installation on Kubernetes environments is through Helm Charts. Supported Helm version is Helm 3+.
Kubernetes Sizing Requirements
We have included YAML files with the different sizing configuration for Artifactory in our GitHub page. You can use these YAML when you set up your cluster.
ARM64 Support
From version 7.41.4, Artifactory supports installation on ARM64 architecture through Helm and Docker installations. You must set up an external database as the Artifactory database since Artifactory does not support the bundled database with the ARM64 installation. Artifactory installation pulls the ARM64 image automatically when you run the Helm or Docker installation on the ARM64 platform.
ARM64 support is also available for Xray, Distribution and Insight.
Artifactory Database Requirements
You can configure your own database from the following list.
Artifactory supports the following databases.
PostgreSQL
Tip
JFrog highly recommends using PostgreSQL for all products in the JFrog Platform. Read more on Choose the right database.
Oracle
MySQL
Microsoft SQL Server
MariaDB
Artifactory HA requires an external database, which is fundamental to 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.
Artifactory Filestore
The filestore is where binaries are physically stored.
Artifactory provides the following options to store binaries.
Local file system in which binaries are stored with redundancy using a binary provider, which manages synchronizing files between the cluster nodes according to the redundancy defined.
Cloud storage: Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Storage.
Network File System (NFS)
For detailed information, see Filestore Configuration.
Binary Storage
While Artifactory can use a Networked File System (NFS) for its binary storage, you should do 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 is for storage that 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 networks to communicate with Artifactory and other JFrog Platform microservices.
