# Server requirements

> Hardware, software, network, and Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) access requirements for installing the Cognite Fabric connector.

You can install the connector on a physical server, on a virtual machine on-premises, in the cloud, or using a docker container.

## Memory

For the default values in the configuration, the server needs a minimum of **2 GB RAM** and an extra **256 GB HD** for logging and storage. You can adjust the configuration to reduce memory usage.

## CPU

For the default values in the configuration, the server needs a minimum of **2-core CPUs**.

## Software

* Windows 2019 or later
* Linux
* Docker container ([cognite/fabric-connector](https://hub.docker.com/r/cognite/fabric-connector))

## Network access

Network access with firewall openings to CDF cluster and CDF project, EntraID, and Microsoft OneLake endpoints.

## CDF access

You can use OpenID Connect and your existing identity provider (IdP) framework to manage access to CDF data securely. See [OIDC](/cdf/integration/guides/extraction/admin_oidc) for more information.

## CDF capabilities

The extractor needs the following capabilities in a CDF project:

* `raw:read`
* `raw:write`
* `raw:list`
* `datasets:read`
* `events:read`
* `events:write`
* `files:read`
