    GoCD System requirements

    These requirements should meet the needs of most GoCD installations. You may need to allocate additional CPUs and/or memory on the machine hosting the GoCD Server if you intend to use a very large set of pipelines and/or agents.

    Client (browser) requirements

    GoCD supports the two most recent versions of the following browsers:

    • Google Chrome
    • Mozilla Firefox
    • Microsoft Edge
    • Apple Safari

    GoCD Server requirements

    Hardware

    • RAM - minimum 1GB, 2GB recommended
    • CPU - minimum 2 cores, 2GHz
    • Disk - minimum 1GB free space

    Supported Operating Systems

    • Windows - Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8 and Windows 10
    • Mac OSX - 10.7 (Lion) and above with Intel processor
    • Debian - Debian 8.0 and above
    • CentOS/RedHat - CentOS/RedHat version 6.0 and above
    • Ubuntu - Ubuntu 14 and above
    • Alpine Linux - Alpine Linux 3.6 and above

    Additional requirements for GoCD server

    The host that runs your GoCD server should have a separate disk partition to store GoCD artifacts. The artifact repository can fill up quickly (especially if you are storing large binaries). If you don’t create a separate partition for artifacts and your system disk fills up, GoCD and other applications on your system will behave unexpectedly. You are also likely to end up with corrupted data. Check the section on configuring the GoCD server for more information on configuring your artifact repository.

    Client software for your source code control tool (Git, SVN, etc) must be installed on both the GoCD server and all GoCD build agents.


    GoCD Agent requirements

    Supported Operating Systems

    • Windows - Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8 and Windows 10
    • Mac OSX - 10.7 (Lion) and above with Intel processor
    • Debian - Debian 8.0 and above
    • CentOS/RedHat - CentOS/RedHat version 6.0 and above
    • Ubuntu - Ubuntu 14 and above
    • Alpine Linux - Alpine Linux 3.6 and above

    Hardware

    • RAM - minimum 128MB, 256MB recommended
    • CPU - minimum 2GHz

    Additional requirements for GoCD Agent

    GoCD agent, on its own, does not require much memory or CPU. However, you need to ensure that the nodes deployed as build agents have adequate resources to build your projects – including sufficient disk space to check source code out of source control.

    Client software for your source code control tool (Git, SVN, etc) needs to be installed on all build agents. Also, any other software required to build your application (if not accessed directly from the project source checked out from source control) needs to be installed (for instance, Maven or Rake).


    Supported Source Control Tools

    • Git >= 1.9
    • Mercurial >= 2.2.2
    • Subversion >= 1.6.11
    • TFS SDK 14.0.3 (TFS 2012, 2013, 2015 and Visual Studio Team Services are supported by GoCD)
    • Perforce >= 2016.1

    Supported network file systems

    This part is applicable only if using a network file system for GoCD’s working directory. The latency of network file systems can directly affect the GoCD server’s performance. It is recommended to use local storage instead of network storage.

    GoCD is tested with its working directory on AWS EFS (NFS v4) , GCP Filestore (NFS v3) and Azure Files service (SMB 3.0). While it works out of the box on AWS EFS and GCP Filestore, Azure Files service needs a workaround as explained in this issue. This is needed due to this jgit issue and some features not supported in Azure Files service.

    These are the only network file systems GoCD is officially tested on. If you find an issue with any other file systems, please open a GoCD issue.


    Java Dependencies for GoCD (Server and Agent)

    This version of GoCD works with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions 11 and 12.

    Given Java has moved to a 6-month release cycle, GoCD will work with the latest 3 available versions of Java at the time of the release. Please refer to this blog post for GoCD’s official stance on supported Java versions.
