Administration Guides
These guides are for anyone seeking information on configuring and using Overture as their platforms's foundation. We will walk you through the essential information for configuring it.
You will need Docker, we recommend using Docker Desktop version 4.32.0 or higher. If you already have Docker installed, please ensure it's up to date. For more information see, Dockers website here.
Note: Ensure enough resources get allocated to Docker. We recommend a minimum CPU limit of 8, memory limit of 8 GB, swap of 2 GB, and virtual disk limit of 64 GB. You can access these settings by selecting the cog wheel found on the top right of the Docker desktop app and selecting resources from the left panel. If you already have docker desktop installed be ensure you are on version 4.32.0 or higher.
