System Requirements

for verinice. and verinice.PRO

Client

A client is the part of the system on which the verinice client runs. In the operating mode Standalone the system environment consists only of this client. In the operating mode Server the client must be connected to a verinice server. If deployed in the operating mode Server the vDesigner can be run on the client and the webfrontend in the web browser. Using the vDesigner report templates can be edited. In the operating mode Server there are usually multiple clients in the system environment, all of which are connected to a server.

verinice-Client (Standlone)

System Requirements

This section contains the recommended and minimum hardware requirements for the client.

Recommended:

  • RAM: 4GB
  • Hard drive:
    • Mode Standalone: 4GB (free space)
    • Mode Server: 2 GB

Operating System

The verinice client is platform-independent and works on different operating systems. This section describes the operating systems on which the client runs.

Microsoft Windows

Officially supported versions:

  • Windows 10 (64 Bit only)
  • Windows 11
  • Attention: Windows 7 is no longer supported as of verinice version 1.20.

verinice also runs on other versions of Microsoft Windows. However verinice is not tested by SerNet on these versions.

macOS

Officially supported versions:

  • macOS 12 (Monterey)
  • macOS 13 (Ventura)
  • macOS 14 (Sonoma)

verinice also runs on other versions of macOS. However, verinice is not tested by SerNet on these versions. On Apple Silicon processors verinice runs with the Rosetta emulation as of version 1.23.

Linux

Officially supported distributions and versions:

  • Ubuntu 18.04.x LTS
  • Ubuntu 20.04.x LTS
  • Ubuntu 22.04.x LTS
  • CentOS 7.x, 8.x
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, 8.x

verinice also runs on other Linux distributions and versions, eg. CentOS. However, that's not tested extensively by SerNet.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

The verinice client and the vDesigner only work together with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The verinice client comes bundled with JRE 11.

Apache Derby database

In the operating mode Standalone the verinice client stores all data in a local database that is bundled with the client. The database used here is Apache Derby. It is not possible to use another database on the client. In the operating mode Server no database will be used on the client.

Webfrontend

The verinice.PRO webfrontend support the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome, version 48 or higher
  • Mozilla Firefox, version 45 or higher
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Apple Safari, version 10 or higher

The web frontend also works in other browsers. However, they're not tested by SerNet.

Server (verinice.PRO)

This section contains the recommended and minimum hardware requirements for the server. The recommended requirements are sufficient for an average system environment (small and medium enterprises / SME or individual organizations). If an above-average number of verinice clients is connected to the server or an above-average number of data is stored on the server, then the requirements are higher (data center operations for multiple clients or corporations).

verinice Server

Recommended:

  • CPU: 2 cores >= 1 GHz, 64 bit
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • HDD: 100 GB

minimal:

  • CPU: 1 core >= 1 GHz, 64 bit
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • HDD: 50 GB

 Operating System

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.x or AlmaLinux 8.x
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x or CentOS 7.x

The standardized operating environment for the server is our preconfigured verinice.PRO virtual appliance based on AlmaLinux. verinice.PRO can be installed from version 1.27 on RHEL 8 and AlmaLinux 8 or on CentOS/RHEL 7. Due to the end of support for CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 on June 30, 2024, the RPM packages for these versions will be provided for the last time with verinice 1.27.

Virtualization Environment

When installing the appliance verinice.PRO as VMWare Solution: VMWare ESXi 6.5 and VMware Fusion starting with version 7.x.

The verinice.PRO appliance can be deployed in other virtualization environments – however, this is not tested by SerNet.

Java Development Kit (JDK)

The verinice server is only functional with the Java Development Kit (JDK) 11. The Java 11-openjdk package from the CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux repository is necessary.

Application server Apache Tomcat

The verinice server runs as an application on an Apache Tomcat 9 application server. It uses the package tomcat from the CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux repository.

The verinice server also works fine with other application servers – however, this is not tested by SerNet.

Database

The verinice server requires a database to operate as intended. Data input from the verinice clients connected to the server is stored in this database.

Officially supported databases are:

If Oracle is selected, it runs on an external database server. It is possible to use a pre-existing Oracle server which is also used for other applications in the company. PostgreSQL runs on the same host as the verinice server. verinice is more efficient when PostgreSQL is used. That's why the verinice.PRO appliance includes PostgreSQL.

The verinice server also works fine with other versions of PostgreSQL and Oracle – however, this is not tested by SerNet.

Apache Web Server

The verinice server is reachable from the outside via the web server Apache 2.4. To enable this, the Apache httpd package from the CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux repository is used.
