Prerequisites

Open Notificaties is most often deployed as a Docker container. While the container images contain all the necessary dependencies, Open Notificaties does require extra service to deploy the full stack. These dependencies and their supported versions are documented here.

The docker-compose.yml (not suitable for production usage!) in the root of the repository also describes these dependencies.

PostgreSQL

Warning

Since Open Notificaties version 1.10.0, PostgreSQL version 14 or higher is required. Attempting to deploy this version of Open Notificaties with PostgreSQL 13 or lower will result in errors!

Open Notificaties currently only supports PostgreSQL as datastore.

The supported versions in the table below are tested in the CI pipeline.

Supported?

Warning

Open Notificaties only supports maintained versions of PostgreSQL. Once a version is EOL, support will be dropped in the next release.

Redis

Open Notificaties uses Redis as a cache backend, especially relevant for admin sessions, and as task queue broker.

Supported versions: 5, 6, 7.

RabbitMQ

Open Notificaties uses RabbitMQ as a message broker and has confirmed support for RabbitMQ version 4.x. Other versions may work, but it is not guaranteed.
