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. If you are hosting, you will need a standalone web server on which to install the software. By choosing to self-host, you are also accepting responsibility for:
  • Ensuring a robust backup routine beyond Curator’s built-in full backup functionality.
  • Performing server upgrades and maintenance for security patches, etc.
  • Applying and maintaining SSL/TLS certificates, DNS, and firewall protections.
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
For AWS-hosted instances, we recommend:
Linux (preferred)Windows
