Install ECE on your own premises

Before you start, make sure that your existing infrastructure meets the requirements.

ECE supports a wide range of OS versions. Here are some OS-specific instructions for preparing your hosts; other versions will be similar:

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and 9, and Rocky Linux 8 and 9
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 SP5 and 15

After your hosts are prepared, choose your preferred installation type:

• Install ECE online
• Install ECE offline

Note

In these pages we frequently refer to Docker, as its currently the most common container engine, but these instructions are generally valid for Podman as well, with podman replacing docker in commands as appropriate.
