Minimum PC Requirements

  • CPUs: 4
  • Installed RAM: 16 GB
  • Storage: 50 GB
  • System Type: 64 bit operating system, x64-based processor
  • Access to internet

Docker for Desktop Installation

Install Docker for Desktop (for Windows 10 or MacOS), see https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop.

  • Highest version tested with: 2.3.0.3. Check by choosing “About Docker Desktop” from the Windows Taskbar or MacOS Menu.

Docker for Desktop Configuration

Docker for desktop can be installed either with Hyper-V or with WSL2 (Windows subsystem for Linux 2), depends on installed Windows update. Setup CPU and memory when docker for desktop is using Hyper-V. No special steps are required if docker for desktop is using WSL2.

For Docker desktop using Hyper-V, ensure that you have at least 2 CPUs and at least 6 GB of memory in Docker Settings, see below. While these are the minimums, in general, the more resources available the better your Mobius experience.

For PC’s with only 4 processors user have reported that changing the CPUs setting to 2 and increasing the Swap memory to 6 GB has significantly improved performance and stability.
