1. Hardware Requirements

CPU

8 physical CPU cores\n(Intel i7/i9, Xeon-W, AMD Ryzen 7/9, Threadripper-class optional)

Memory

32 GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM
ECC optional but recommended

Storage (SSD Only)

1 TB SSD (SATA or NVMe; NVMe preferred but not required)
No mechanical HDDs

Network Interface

>=1 Gbps Ethernet
Support for static IPv4/IPv6 assignment

Power / Form Factor

Tower-workstation or small-form workstation
500–750W PSU
UPS recommended if not in a datacenter

2. Operating System & Software

OS

Ubuntu Server LTS (24.04)
Minimal installation + SSH enabled

Container Runtime

Docker Engine
Docker Compose (v2)

3. Networking & Domain Requirements

Static IP Address

They must assign a static IP for the workstation server.
The IP must be reachable from inside their network;

Domain Name / Subdomain

They must provide:
- A subdomain (e.g., seed.ucm.es, seed.sheffield.ac.uk)
- A dedicated A record pointed to the server’s static IP
They must be able to add the DNS records:
- A record → IPv4 of the server
- CNAME

Port Requirements

Seed uses a non-standard ports: 56000-56002.

They must allow the following:

Firewall / Router Rules

Inbound:
- TCP/UDP 56000-56002 → required by Seed (primary application port)
- TCP 22 → SSH administration (should be limited to IT staff only)
- TCP 80/443 → if using HTTP/HTTPS proxying in front of port 56000

4. Application Hosting Requirements

Runs full Seed application inside Docker containers
SSD ensures fast I/O for logs and database
Suitable for ~20–200 concurrent users
No GPU needed
Works entirely on a single workstation-class machine

5. Backup & Maintenance

Daily or weekly backing up Seed data (DB + media) to:
- Network share, or
- External server
Monthly OS updates via package manager
Optional: basic monitoring
