openITCOCKPIT supports arm64 by 100%, all components can be used – no compromises.
All
distributions based on Ubuntu 20.04 (or newer) or Debian Buster (or newer) (e.g.: Raspbian, Raspberry Pi
OS or
Armbian) are supported.
openITCOCKPIT is tested on arm64 running on an Apple Silicon (M1 Chip), a Pine64
ROCK64
and a Raspberry Pi 4.
The installation is the same as on any 64-Bit system. Please select your operating
system from the menu above and continue with the installation process. If you plan
to
use a Raspberry Pi please make sure to use the
64-Bit Version of Raspberry Pi OS
.

System requirements
- Ubuntu Linux 64 bit (22.04, 20.04, 18.04), Debian Linux 64 bit (11, 10)
- 2 CPU cores (x86-64 or arm64)
- 2 GB RAM
- 40 GB space
Production system sizing
Unfortunately there is no golden rule for the right sizing of a monitoring system. This
depends
on the amount of hosts and services you like to monitor. Please keep in mind that a
monitoring system usually will create more I/O than your KVM farm!
A rough guide:
- 16 CPU cores (high clock speeds are preferred)
- 32 GB RAM
- 500 GB SSD
openITCOCKPIT 3 - Old stable
openITCOCKPIT Version 3.x has entered maintenance mode. The repository is still online and
can be found
