Third-party applications requirements#

The following third-party services are used by default with LUNA PLATFORM 5.

  • PostgreSQL is used as a default database for Faces, Configurator, Events, Handlers, Lambda, Tasks, Admin, and Backport3 services.

You can also use the Oracle database instead of PostgreSQL for all services except the Events service. The installation and configuration of Oracle are not described in this manual.

  • Redis DB is used for Faces and Sender services.

  • InfluxDB is used for monitoring.

Balancers and other software can be used when scaling the system to provide fail-safety. The installation guide provides recommendations on launching Nginx container with a configuration file to balance requests to the API, Faces, Image Store, and Events services.

The following third-party applications versions are recommended for LP launching:

  • PostgreSQL: 16
  • Oracle: 21c (if used instead PostgreSQL)
  • Redis: 7.2
  • InfluxDB: 2.0.8-alpine
  • Grafana: 8.5.20 (optional)
  • Grafana Loki: 2.7.1 (optional)
  • Nginx: 1.17.4-alpine (optional)

These versions were tested by VisionLabs specialists. Newer versions can be used if needed, but they are not guaranteed to work.

It is recommended to use the unzip package to unpack the distribution. The command to download the package is given in the installation manual.

If you need to use an external database and the VLMatch function, you need to download additional dependencies described in the "External DB" section of the installation manual.

PostgreSQL, Redis, InfluxDB, Grafana and Nginx docker containers can be downloaded from the VisionLabs registry.
