For best performance, stability and functionality we have documented some recommendations for running a Nextcloud server. Running Nextcloud with PHP on Windows or macOS is unsupported and will not work as .
.. note:: If you plan a setup for your organization and you rely on professional deployment consulting (e.g. efficient and
reliable scaling) and support, we strogly recommend you to check out our `enterprise support

Memory
^^^^^^
Memory requirements for running an Nextcloud server are greatly variable,
depending on the numbers of users and files, and volume of server activity.
Nextcloud needs a minimum of 128MB RAM, and we recommend a minimum of 512MB.
depending on the numbers of users, apps, files and volume of server activity.
Recommended setup for running Nextcloud
---------------------------------------
For best performance, stability, and functionality, recommendations are:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
* MySQL/MariaDB
* PHP 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2.
* Apache 2.4 with mod_php
For a Nextcloud installation with efficient and reliable scaling over ~100 users, see the `deployment recommendations <https://portal.nextcloud.com/article/nextcloud-deployment-recommendations-7.html>`_.
Working platforms
-----------------
* Server: GNU/Linux (Debian 8 (Jessie), 9 (Stretch), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 & 12, openSUSE LEAP 42.1 or newer, Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 6.5 and 7 (7 is 64-bit only), Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) LTS, 16.04 (Xenial) LTS, 18.04 (Bionic) LTS)

Nextcloud needs a minimum of **128MB** RAM, and we recommend a minimum of **512MB**.
Database requirements for MySQL / MariaDB
-----------------------------------------
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following is currently required if you're running Nextcloud together with a MySQL / MariaDB database:
* InnoDB storage engine (MyISAM is not supported)
* "READ COMMITED" transaction isolation level (See: :ref:`db-transaction-label`)
* Disabled or BINLOG_FORMAT = ROW configured Binary Logging (See: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/binary-log-formats.html)
* For **Emoji (UTF8 4-byte) support** see :doc:`../configuration_database/mysql_4byte_support`
Emoji (UTF8 4-byte) support with MySQL / MariaDB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Desktop client
--------------
If you want to use UTF8 4-byte characters such as Emojis on your server, the database needs to be created with character set ``utf8mb4`` and collate ``utf8mb4_general_ci``, e.g.::
We strongly recommend using the latest version of your operating system to get the full and most stable experience out
of our clients.
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
* **Windows** 7+
* **macOS** Lion (10.7)+ (64-bit only)
* **Linux** (CentOS 6.5+, Ubuntu 14.04+, Fedora 21+, openSUSE 13, SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3+, Debian 8 (Jessie)+, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7)
Additionally the following InnoDB settings need to be set::
Mobile apps
-----------
[mysqld]
innodb_large_prefix=on
innodb_file_format=barracuda
innodb_file_per_table=true
We strongly recommend using the latest version of your mobile operating system to get the full and most stable experience out
of our mobile apps.
See :doc:`../configuration_database/mysql_4byte_support` for more information.
- **iOS** 9.x+
- **Android** 4.x+
.. note:: The separate Nextcloud Talk app requires iOS 9.x+ or Android 5.x+.
Webbrowser
----------
For best experience with the Nextcloud webinterface, we recommend you to use the latest and supported version of a browser from this list, or one based on those:
- Microsoft **Internet Explorer 11** (latest version)
- Microsoft **Edge**
- Mozilla **Firefox**
- Google **Chrome**/Chromium
- Apple **Safari**
.. note:: If you want to use Nextcloud Talk you should use Mozilla **Firefox** 52+ or Google **Chrome**/Chromium 49+ to have
the full experience with video calls and screensharing. Google Chrome/Chromium requires a additional plugin for
screensharing.
