PoolParty System Requirements

From PoolParty 2024 Release 2 the only supported OS is 64-bit Linux. PoolParty and its dependencies can be installed on (and should be compatible with) any 64-bit Linux distribution.

Important

Starting from PoolParty 2024 Release 2 there is no Windows support for new PoolParty on-premise customers.

We continue to support current customers running PoolParty on a Windows Server 2019 64-bit edition or higher. Support for Windows Server 2016 for on-premise installations of PoolParty has however been discontinued since Microsoft has stopped supporting it. Furthermore, we will be moving to only provide support for Windows Server 2022.

Make sure a Java Runtime Environment is in place. The current PoolParty version requires OpenJDK 21.

You can check your Java version by typing the following command in a console:

java -version

Note

Please note that PoolParty 2025 Release 1 only supports JDK21.

The current PoolParty version ships with Elasticsearch version 8.17.2

Note

Please note that the support for Solr has been dropped with the release PoolParty 2025 R1. Please make sure that you have migrated your index from Solr to Elasticsearch as soon as possible. For more details please refer to Switching from Solr to Elasticsearch in PoolParty and Migrating Index from Solr to Elasticsearch on Linux

The current PoolParty version ships with Keycloak 25.0.6

Since the database originally coming with Keycloak is not intended for productive deployment it is necessary to change over to an external DB (PostgreSQL). You can find more details on how to migrate this database here.

Since the database Keycloak originally comes with is only intended for development and testing, it is necessary to migrate the Keycloak DB to PostgreSQL to be able to use it in productive environments.

The current PoolParty version has been tested with and supports PostgreSQL version 16.

The current PoolParty version ships with Apache Tomcat 10.4.40
