See also Installation Prerequisites.

Operating System and Software Requirements

For all deployments, a 64-bit OS is required. The Logi Composer server also uses Java and PostgreSQL. Ensure that the appropriate version of these tools are used in the deployment of Logi Composer in your operating environment.

• RHEL 9 (Red Hat)

• CentOS 7 and CentOS 8.

  Note: CentOS 7 & 8 are end of life (EOL) support. CentOS Stream 9 is supported for new instances of Logi Composer 25.4 and higher. Upgrade your operating system to CentOS Stream 9 before upgrading your Composer instance.

• Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and Ubuntu 22.04.

  Note: Ubuntu 16.04 is nearing end of life (EOL) support. Composer will support Ubuntu 16.04 through the release of Composer 25.3. Composer 25.4 and later will require an operating system upgrade before you upgrade your Composer instance.

• Windows Server versions 2016 and 2019 or higher.

  Note: Windows Server version 2012 R2 is nearing end of life (EOL) support. Composer will support Windows Server 2012 R2 through the release of Composer 25.3. Composer 25.4 and later will require an operating system upgrade before you upgrade your Composer instance.

Caution: If your operating system has reached or will soon reach its EOL date, insightsoftware recommends you schedule an appropriate time to upgrade both the Composer and operating system to a later version. For more information, see Operating System Support.

• 64 GB RAM (minimum is 16 GB)

• 500 GB disk space

• 16 cores

See also Server Size Guidelines.

Metadata Repository

Important: Composer uses a packaged PostgreSQL database instance to store its metadata. Use the provided instance due to the specific configuration and version combination:

• Logi Composer v24.2 and earlier: PostgreSQL 12

• Composer v24.3 and later: PostgreSQL 16

If you would like to use another PostgreSQL instance, contact Technical Support for further guidance.

Note: New installations of Logi Composer (v24.3 and later) use PostgreSQL 16. If you are upgrading your environment to v24.3 or later, you can retain your existing PostgreSQL version.

Network Requirements

Ports

The following table lists the ports you must consider when installing or upgrading Logi Composer.

Time Synchronization

Logi Composer recommends installing the Network Time Protocol daemon (NTPD) to allow for time synchronization of networked servers to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), if not already available in your network. See Using the Network Time Protocol to Synchronize Time for guidance.
