Requirements

Hardware

For running an average-sized pod, your server should have at the very least 512MB of RAM (+1GB swap space) and a decent multi-core CPU. The amount of hard disk space required largely depends on how many images you expect your users to upload. If you plan to run the database server on the same host you should allow for at least double the amount of RAM and disk space.

Software

Build tools - for compiling source packages
Ruby - the Ruby programming language
RubyGems - package manager for Ruby code libraries (like CPAN for Perl or PEAR for PHP)
Bundler - gem management tool for Ruby projects
MySQL or MariaDB or PostgreSQL - backend storage engine
OpenSSL - encryption library.
libcurl - multiprotocol file transfer library WARNING: Due to sidekiq longjmp error, you need at least curl 7.32
ImageMagick - image processing library
Git - version control system
Redis - persistent key-value store
one of the JavaScript runtimes on execjs' supported list.
