Containerized Installation (Linux or Windows)

The Containerized Installation method allows you to run EasyEdge Node inside a container runtime (such as Docker) on Linux or Windows systems. This is ideal for environments where containerization is preferred for consistency, isolation, and simplified lifecycle management.

🎥 Video Tutorial: Watch the full step-by-step installation walkthrough below.

Prerequisites

• Host OS: Linux or Windows with Docker installed

• Supported Architectures: ARM and x86 (all available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions)

• Minimum Resources: 128MB RAM and 128MB storage

💡 Note: These are minimal system requirements. Actual usage may require more resources depending on your project setup.
