Does Gallium Data run on my platform?
Gallium Data runs as a Docker container, so it will run anywhere Docker runs (namely Windows, Linux and MacOS), or in anything that is Docker-compatible (e.g. containerd, Kubernetes, etc...). If you use a different container system like Windows containers or LXC, please contact us and let us know. We'd like to support whatever our users need.
As of version 1.8 build 1720, Intel, AMD, Mac M1/M2/M3 and other ARM machines are supported.
Can Gallium Data run in Kubernetes, Google Container Engine, Docker Compose, Amazon Elastic Container, ... ?
Gallium Data is a simple Docker image (based on Ubuntu and GraalVM), and can therefore be run and managed in any of these environments.
What if I don't want to run Gallium Data as a Docker image?
Gallium Data requires a very specific version of the GraalVM virtual machine, which is why it comes as a Docker image. If you need to run Gallium Data in a different environment, contact us and we'll help you figure out the best way to do what you need.
