Understand the setup

Check runtime, storage and installation requirements before choosing a server.

See requirements

Budget your resources

Allow room for the operating system, database and your actual workload.

Open resource planner

Build your shortlist

Compare plan details and review which requirements still need checking.

Must have

Installation requirements

  • Docker Engine and Docker Compose.
  • Network communication between the application, worker, database, object store and proxy.

Planning guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Capacity depends on your workload

The guide refers to Docker prerequisites and recommends Linux for production; it does not establish a fixed workload capacity or RAM minimum.

We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.

Deploy with

Supported paths

  • Docker Compose

The host must provide

Runtime

CouchDB
Database service in the documented stack
MinIO
Object storage in the documented stack
NGINX
Stack proxy

Storage

Persistent data

Preserve database and object-store volumes. Back up configuration and application data before upgrades.

Step by step

Plan a Budibase deployment

  1. Prepare configuration

    Use the maintained Compose, environment and LiteLLM configuration files.

    Official instructions
  2. Replace secrets

    Change the example environment secrets before starting a publicly accessible deployment.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Restrict internal service access.
  • Keep database and file-storage credentials private.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Budget for all stack services, persistent data and backups.
