System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

Requirement	Specification
Operating System	Linux (kernel 3.10+), macOS 10.15+, or Windows 10+
Memory	50MB RAM (typical usage)
Disk Space	50MB for binary and logs
Network	Outbound TCP access to port 9000

Recommended Requirements

Requirement	Specification
Memory	100MB+ RAM for production workloads
Disk Space	200MB+ for extended log retention

Linux Distribution Compatibility

The CLI is tested and supported on these Linux distributions:

Distribution	Versions
Ubuntu	18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04
Debian	10 (Buster), 11 (Bullseye), 12 (Bookworm)
CentOS	7, 8, Stream 8, Stream 9
RHEL	7, 8, 9
Amazon Linux	2, 2023
Alpine	3.14+
Fedora	36+

Note: The CLI is distributed as a statically-linked binary with no external dependencies, making it compatible with most Linux distributions regardless of the package manager or C library version.

Container Support

FixPanic CLI works in containerized environments:

Platform	Support
Docker	✅ Supported
Kubernetes	✅ Supported (as a DaemonSet or sidecar)
Podman	✅ Supported

Example Dockerfile

FROM alpine:latest

# Download and install FixPanic CLI
RUN apk add --no-cache curl && \
    curl -fsSL https://install.fixpanic.com/install.sh | sh

# Your application setup...

Cloud Platform Compatibility

Provider	Compute Service	Status
AWS	EC2, ECS, Lambda	✅ Supported
Google Cloud	Compute Engine, GKE	✅ Supported
Azure	Virtual Machines, AKS	✅ Supported
DigitalOcean	Droplets, Kubernetes	✅ Supported
Linode	Compute Instances	✅ Supported
Vultr	Cloud Compute	✅ Supported

Network Requirements

The agent requires outbound network access:

Destination	Port	Protocol	Purpose
`socket.fixpanic.com`	9000	TCP	Agent communication

Warning: If you're behind a corporate firewall, ensure outbound TCP connections to port 9000 are allowed. The agent does not support HTTP proxies for its primary connection.

Testing Network Connectivity

Verify your server can reach the FixPanic platform:

# Test connectivity
nc -zv socket.fixpanic.com 9000

# Or using curl
curl -v telnet://socket.fixpanic.com:9000

Architecture Detection

The installation script automatically detects your platform:

# View detected platform
uname -s  # Operating system (Linux, Darwin, etc.)
uname -m  # Architecture (x86_64, aarch64, etc.)

The CLI maps these values to download URLs:

`uname -s`	`uname -m`	Binary
Linux	x86_64	`fixpanic-linux-amd64`
Linux	aarch64	`fixpanic-linux-arm64`
Linux	i386/i686	`fixpanic-linux-386`
Linux	armv7l	`fixpanic-linux-arm`
Darwin	x86_64	`fixpanic-darwin-amd64`
Darwin	arm64	`fixpanic-darwin-arm64`

Known Limitations

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

WSL is supported but with caveats:

Use the Linux binary inside WSL
Systemd integration may require WSL 2 with systemd enabled
Network connectivity depends on WSL networking mode

32-bit Systems

While 32-bit binaries are provided, we recommend using 64-bit systems for:

Better performance
Larger memory addressing
Longer-term support

FreeBSD / OpenBSD

BSD systems are not officially supported. The Linux binary may work under compatibility layers but is not tested.

Next Steps

Installation - Install the CLI for your platform.
