Self-hosted Curator CMS no longer our recommended offering. Check out our Curator SaaS for a modern, fully managed experience with expert guidance and no infrastructure to maintain.
If you’re an existing customer looking for requirements or there is another reason why you are installing locally, this is what you need to know:

Server Requirements

General Requirements

Your Curator server must be its own standalone web server. Installing on the same web server as Tableau Server is not supported. Containerized deployments are also not currently supported. Your Curator server will need to be able to communicate directly with your Tableau Server, and your Tableau Server will need the REST and Metadata APIs enabled.

Curator Standard/Enterprise

If you are hosting, you will need a standalone web server on which to install the software. This can be highly customized, but plan on following minimum specifications:
  • Linux (preferred) or Windows
  • At least 4 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 20GB of disk space available
  • Ports open for web traffic (80 and 443)
  • A disaster recovery plan
