System Requirements

Last updated on Feb 12, 2025

Hardware

All Incredibuild for Linux components must be run on 64 bit machines or containers Note: Whenever cores are mentioned, they are logical cores.

Machine	CPU	RAM	Storage	Network
Coordinator	4 Cores	8 GB	10 GB (any storage device). To generate detailed logs in case of issues, an additional 10 GB is required.	Static IP1 1 Gbps
Initiator	4 Cores	Minimum of 4 GB per core on the machine	The space required to successfully build the codebase under test. (SATA SSD or equivalent). We recommend doubling the space required to successfully build the codebase if possible. When using the Build Monitor it can use several GB per build for large builds. It is posssible to disable the Build Monitor, or to limit the number of saved builds in the Build Monitor. Detailed logging also requires additional space. Using local Build Cache requires additional space.	1 Gbps
Helper	4 Cores	Minimum of 4 GB per core on the machine	15 GB (any storage device). Additional space may be required depending on size of the output of the task assigned to the helper. To generate detailed logs in case of issues, additional space may be required.	1 Gbps
Build Cache Service	8 Cores	16 GB	At least twice the size required to compile the codebase. Use be SSD disk only.	10 Gbps

Note: When using detailed logs for extended troubleshooting, additional storage space is required.

Ports

The following TCP ports are used by various Incredibuild services. Make sure your network level firewalls, and operating systems firewalls allow communication through these ports. Most port numbers can be changed during installation and in the Coordinator Manager. The following ports are used by the Coordinator to communicate with services running on the Internet:

Service Name	Location	TCP Port	Used by	Can change?
Telemetry	telemetry.incredibuild.com/*	443	Coordinator	No

The following ports are used by Incredibuild services within your grid:

Service Name	Location	TCP Port	Used by	Can change?
Incredibuild Manager	Coordinator	8000	Any UI and API client	Yes
Incredibuild Manager	Coordinator	8001	Any UI and API client	Yes
Coordinator Session	Coordinator	9952	Initiators	Yes
Coordinator Utility	Coordinator	9953	Agents (Initiators and Helpers)	Yes
Coordinator Utility	Secondary Coordinator	9954	Primary Coordinator	Yes
Agent Control	Helpers	2088	Initiators	Yes
Helper Service	Helpers	2089	Initiators	Yes
Agent HTTP Webserver	Initiators	8080	Coordinator and any UI client	Yes
Agent HTTPS Webserver	Initiators	8081	Coordinator and any UI client	Yes
Cache HTTP Service	Initiators	8080	Initiators	Yes
Cache HTTPS Service	Shared Cache Service	8081	Initiators	Yes

The following ports are used when Incredibuild for Cloud is enabled (see more details in Cloud Network Requirements):

Service Name	Location	TCP Port	Used by	Can change?
Incredibuild Cloud Orchestrator	cloudapi.incredibuild.com	443	Coordinator	No
Incredibuild Cloud Orchestrator	cloudapi.incredibuild.com	443	Helpers created by Incredibuild Cloud in your VPC	No
Azure Bloc Storage	devicstorage.blob.core.windows.net	443	Helpers created by Incredibuild Cloud in your VPC	No
Agent Control	Agent Control	31106	Initiators	Yes
Coordinator Session	Helper Service	31107	Initiators	Yes
Coordinator Session	Cloud Helpers	31105	Coordinator	Yes

Network

Network Speed: Minimum 100 Mbps, recommended 1 Gbps or higher.
Location: The machines should be on same physical LAN or connected through a VPN (same LAN is recommended).
Incredibuild Cloud: To active Incredibuild for Cloud, see the requirements in the Ports table above, and also Cloud Network Requirements.

Software

Root Permission: Installation and upgrade require root permissions to install Incredibuild daemons. After installation, everyday users do not need root permissions. Note that Incredibuild daemons run automatically with root permissions during restart, no action is needed to enable this.
SELinux: We strongly recommend disabling SELinux on all Incredibuild for Linux components.
If your linux distribution does not have the bzip2 package, you will need to add it manually.

User Interface

Screen resolution: Recommended 1920 x 1080, Minimum 960 x 1080
Supported browser: Chrome
