The Jamf Pro web app and the MySQL database can be installed on the same server or different servers. You may want to install the MySQL database on a different server if you have a larger environment that requires more resources. Additional configuration is required to implement this scenario. For more information, see Installing the Jamf Pro Web App and MySQL on Different Servers.
The server used to host Jamf Pro should meet the minimum requirements for operating system, Tomcat version, database configuration, and Java installation. For additional information on these Jamf Pro Server Environment requirements, see the Jamf Pro Release Notes for your version of Jamf Pro.
In addition, the following resources are recommended as the minimum allocation for a typical installation of Jamf Pro:
- Windows
A 64-bit capable Intel processor
8 GB of RAM
150 GB of disk space available
Ports 8443 and 8080 available
In environments where the double-byte character set encoding is required, use English as the system language for the server used to host Jamf Pro to avoid potential display issues.
Full local administrator privileges are required to install Jamf Pro on Windows Server. If you are unable to install Jamf Pro, Group Policy Object restrictions may be the cause. Check the GPO settings or contact someone in your organization who can ensure that GPO restrictions allow you full administrator privileges.
You will need to manually add a firewall exception for port 8443.
