Check your Hardware Requirements
- Bare-metal server with Intel TDX: Your hardware must support Intel TDX. Prepare your firmware using the canonical/tdx guide. Note: VMs are not supported for secure enclaves.
- Public IPv4 address: Required for HTTPS, API, and external access.
- Specs: At least 16GB RAM & 100GB SSD. For best results, aim for 32GB+ RAM and NVMe storage.
- Domain name & DNS access: You’ll need a domain you can manage for Let’s Encrypt and gateway access.
Software Requirements
- Linux kernel 5.15+ (with TDX patches)
- Supported OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (strongly recommended) or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Rust & Cargo: Some dstack components are built from source. Install using the official Rust installer.
- Node.js & npm: For contract deployment tools, install from nodejs.org.

| 51820 | WireGuard | In/Out | Secure VPN for enclaves |
How to Check Intel TDX Support
Run these commands. If you see TDX output, your hardware is ready:Recommendations
- Use bare-metal hardware for production workloads.
- Prepare your domain and DNS settings in advance.
- Ensure you have root or sudo access to the server.
- If you’re not ready for bare-metal, try our Super Quick Start on Phala Cloud.
