System requirements

Server

Minimum Recommended
Processor 2 cores, x86-64 4 cores
Memory 4 GB 8 GB
Disk 20 GB 40 GB or more, depending on evidence
Operating system 64-bit Linux with Docker Engine 24 or later and the Compose plugin

Docker Compose limits HouseGRC to 3 GB of memory. It uses much less most of the time: the room is for large imports, reports and backups. The image is about 1.3 GB, for x86-64 (amd64) only.

It runs as well on a virtual machine, on premises or in your own cloud account, as on physical hardware.

Browsers

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Network

  • Users reach HouseGRC over HTTPS on the name you give it.
  • Outbound connections, all optional: your SMTP server for email, your identity provider for single sign-on, the AI provider you choose, the systems you connect for evidence, and public vulnerability and certificate data for the features that use them.
  • HouseGRC never needs to reach us. Downloading and upgrading the image needs access to ghcr.io.
