System Requirements

Hardware and software prerequisites for running Konnect.

Minimum requirements

Component	Minimum	Recommended
CPU	2 cores	4+ cores
RAM	4 GB	8 GB
Disk	10 GB free	20 GB free
Docker	24.0+	Latest stable
OS	Linux, macOS, or Windows with WSL2	Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+)

Konnect is a web application accessed through a browser. The following browsers are supported:

Note: Konnect is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can install it as a standalone application on desktop and mobile devices for quick access.

Service	Port	Protocol	Direction
Konnect web UI	8080 (configurable)	HTTP/HTTPS	Inbound
LLM API providers	443	HTTPS	Outbound
MQTT brokers	1883 / 8883	MQTT / MQTTS	Outbound
OPC-UA servers	4840 (configurable)	OPC-UA TCP	Outbound
SQL databases	Varies (5432, 3306, 1433)	TCP	Outbound
Ollama (optional)	11434	HTTP	Outbound

Konnect needs outbound access to your LLM provider’s API (Groq, OpenAI, or Anthropic) unless you’re using a self-hosted Ollama instance.
Konnect needs network access to any MQTT brokers, OPC-UA servers, and databases you want to connect.
If running behind a reverse proxy, ensure WebSocket connections are supported (used for real-time data streaming).

Konnect runs as a Docker container. Ensure Docker is installed and running:

# Check Docker version
docker --version

# Check Docker is running
docker info

For multi-service deployments (Konnect + MQTT broker + database):

# Check Docker Compose version
docker compose version

Docker Compose V2 (integrated into Docker CLI) is recommended.

For larger deployments with many concurrent users or data sources:

Scenario	CPU	RAM	Notes
Single user, 1-2 data sources	2 cores	4 GB	Minimum viable setup
Small team, 3-5 data sources	4 cores	8 GB	Recommended for most teams
Large deployment, 10+ data sources	8+ cores	16+ GB	Consider dedicated database hosting
