Understand the setup

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

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 or Docker Compose with a supported image.
  • PostgreSQL, Redis and configured storage.
  • Required environment settings including URL, DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL and SECRET_KEY.

Planning guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Capacity depends on your workload

The Docker guide does not provide a universal CPU or RAM minimum. Team size, uploads and database activity determine capacity.

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

Deploy with

Supported paths

  • Docker Compose
  • Docker with external managed dependencies

The host must provide

Runtime

PostgreSQL
Follow the release-specific configuration
Redis
Required service

Storage

Persistent data

Preserve the database and uploaded files. The example mounts application data at /var/lib/outline/data.

Step by step

Plan a Outline deployment

  1. Prepare the stack

    Configure dependencies and required environment settings before starting the application.

    Official instructions
  2. Plan upgrades

    Pin container versions and back up the database; startup normally runs migrations.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Replace sample passwords and protect secrets.
  • Configure HTTPS for public access.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include database, Redis, file storage and backups in the budget.
