From official requirements to the right setup

Start with current upstream facts for Erxes, then size the real workload rather than copying generic container or app-store labels.

  1. Official requirements

  2. Confirm your needs

  3. Leave room to grow

  4. Run it on ZimaOS

  • Logs retention
  • Backup/replica-set design

Official minimum requirements

Current Erxes deployment documentation explicitly says the repository does not establish a tested minimum CPU, RAM, or disk size.

Current Erxes self-hosting documentation

Older Erxes documentation published fixed figures such as 2 GB RAM or 4-core/8 GB examples, but the current deployment guide supersedes that approach and instructs operators to budget the whole stack and measure staging.

RequirementOfficial minimumWhat this supports
No tested minimum publishedBudget all Node services, Redis, and DB workload.
No tested minimum publishedMeasure a staging deployment.
x86-64 Linux for core published imagesMost core images are amd64.
MongoDB replica set requiredPlugins use sessions/transactions.
Persistent Redis requiredUsed for queues, sessions, service discovery.
Nginx + HTTPSReference deployment publishes UI/gateway on loopback.
Not requiredNo GPU baseline.

When to upgrade your hardware

Plugin/service growth

MongoDB pressure

Automation/upload growth

Plan hardware growth with confidence

Fast DB/storage

Use SSD/NVMe for MongoDB and app state.

SSD/NVMe

More RAM

Useful for the multi-service stack and MongoDB/Redis.

16 GB+

Separate MongoDB

Move DB to dedicated/managed nodes as scale grows.

Dedicated DB

Stronger CPU

Useful for plugins, automations, gateway, and workers.

ZimaCube 2 Pro or stronger

Can it run on ZimaOS?

Zima hardware for Erxes

Erxes is a multi-service CRM/experience platform, so a fixed home-server minimum would be misleading.

Choose by workload

Evaluation/small deployment

Use a strong single host and a properly configured MongoDB replica set.

Growing plugins/users/automation

Separate stateful services and scale based on observed bottlenecks.

Use current docs over older legacy deployment pages when values conflict.

Zima hardware Best for Example workload Core configuration Recommended boundary Next step
ZimaCube 2 Pro CPU-heavier, database-heavy, and higher-concurrency services Larger CRM/helpdesk/mail/platform workloads
CPU
Intel Core i5-1235U, 10 cores / 12 threads
Memory
16 GB RAM
Storage
256 GB system storage, 6 HDD bays, up to 4 SSD slots
Network
10GbE + 2.5GbE
Acceleration
Higher CPU throughput plus PCIe/SSD expansion
16 GB RAM can still be low for large enterprise stacks Get Now

ZimaBlade single-board server
★★★★★

Zima Blade Little yet Powerful

Maybe I am not digital natives but I live with PCs since 12 years old in 1984 when IBM PC clone come to my home. Many years have passed and many operating system I've tried. For me Zima blade and CasaOS was a quantum leap for home PC enthusiast and server lab machine to make me stay curious and relevant for this era.

ZimaCube Pro personal cloud
★★★★★

Very good!!

I use ZimaCube Pro as 5th Proxmox cluster node. It runs several VMs and containers, including a VM with GPU passthrough to run a self-hosted LLM. A specific LXC container runs a Samba server for NAS capabilities using four of six RAID 6 SATA HDDs with ZFS.

ZimaBlade single-board server
★★★★★

Great innovation for mini server!

It is very useful and makes a powerful mini server for many purposes, including university and college students in engineering and electronics. Thank you so much for making this server.

Avaliação ZimaBoard 2

Construí um servidor de uso pessoal. O desempenho está muito bom e funciona perfeitamente onde quer que eu esteja. A surpresa é não dependermos de grandes estruturas para termos nosso próprio servidor de dados. Como iniciante, estou gostando bastante do ZimaOS, pois ele é simples e eficiente.

Frequently asked questions

What is Erxes's current official RAM minimum?

The current self-hosting docs state that no tested minimum has been established.

Does Erxes require MongoDB?

Yes, a MongoDB replica set.

Does Erxes require Redis?

Yes; Redis is used for queues, sessions, plugin lists, and service discovery.

Do older Erxes docs list hardware numbers?

Yes, but current self-hosting guidance no longer establishes a tested fixed minimum.

Can a single-node MongoDB replica set work?

Yes for evaluation, but it provides no redundancy.

Can ZimaCube 2 Pro run a small Erxes deployment?

It is a reasonable lab/small-deployment starting point, but production should be validated with staging metrics.

Does Erxes need a GPU?

No baseline GPU requirement is published.

When should MongoDB move off-host?

When database memory, I/O, availability, or backup needs justify separate nodes.

What sources informed this guide?

This page uses current Erxes self-hosting/operations docs and notes legacy documentation only where it conflicts with current guidance.
