RedHat/OpenShift On-premis Deployment

0
Hi everyone,   I have a few questions regarding Mendix deployment on RedHat systems, and I’d appreciate insights from anyone with similar experience: On-Prem Deployment: I have a local RedHat server (on-premise) and I want to deploy a Mendix application directly on this RedHat OS. Are there any official guidelines or best practices for setting up Mendix on a RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) environment? OpenShift Deployment: Additionally, I’m considering using RedHat OpenShift for future deployments. Does Mendix support containerized deployment via OpenShift out of the box? Are there Mendix Buildpacks, Helm charts, or container images optimized for OpenShift? Licensing/Compatibility: Are there any licensing, runtime, or compatibility considerations I should be aware of when using Mendix in either scenario (bare-metal RHEL vs. OpenShift)?   Any documentation, personal experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

On-Prem (RHEL) Deployment:

Yes, supported.

You can deploy Mendix using the .tar.gz runtime package on RHEL 7/8 systems.

Requirements: Java (OpenJDK 8/11), system packages (glibc, freetype, unzip, etc.), and a systemd service for managing the app.

 

OpenShift Deployment:

Yes, out-of-the-box support is available.

Official Mendix S2I (Source-to-Image) builders and container images are provided.

The .mpk build + deployment process is automated via S2I. PVCs, Secrets, and ConfigMaps are used for configuration and persistence.

 

Licensing & Compatibility:

Same license applies (Enterprise/Pro).

Both RHEL and OpenShift platforms are officially supported.

x86_64 architecture is required.

License keys are passed via environment variables or mounted as Kubernetes/OpenShift Secrets.
