LStack support is based on installation and lifecycle qualification performed on each operating system and processor architecture. A build existing for another target does not imply support.
Supported
Apple Silicon macOS
Installer target: darwin/arm64Use Docker Desktop when you want to run workers or container-based projects.
x86-64 Linux
Installer target: linux/x64Use Docker Engine without interactive sudo when you want to run workers or container-based projects.
ARM64 Linux
Installer target: linux/arm64Use Docker Engine without interactive sudo when you want to run workers or container-based projects.
Docker is not required to install LStack or use the dashboard. Project runtimes using stack mode require Docker Compose v2 in addition to Docker.
Not supported
Intel macOS
The darwin/x64 architecture does not have a supported LStack release.
Windows
Native Windows installation is not supported. You can use an x86-64 Ubuntu environment in WSL2 and follow the Linux installation path.
Common behavior
On supported platforms:
- The dashboard runs as a native host process.
- The dashboard binds to
127.0.0.1.
- Docker runs workers and container-based project runtimes.
- The bundled runtime avoids a global Node.js prerequisite.
- Installation is per user and does not require root access.
Linux Docker Desktop is not the qualified Linux configuration. The supported Linux target uses Docker Engine.
