Linux deployments

For efficiency, reliability, and security, the StorageGRID system runs on Linux as a collection of Docker containers. Docker-related network configuration is not required in a StorageGRID system.

Use a non-bond device, such as a VLAN or virtual Ethernet (veth) pair, for the container network interface. Specify this device as the network interface in the node configuration file.

Important Do not use bond or bridge devices directly as the container network interface. Doing so could prevent node start-up because of a kernel issue with the use of macvlan with bond and bridge devices in the container namespace.

See the installation instructions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS or Ubuntu/Debian deployments.
