# Supported platforms

> See which operating systems and processor architectures are qualified for LStack.

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.

## Support matrix

| Platform                             | Status        | Docker requirement                                                         |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Apple Silicon macOS (`darwin/arm64`) | Supported     | Docker Desktop                                                             |
| x86-64 Linux (`linux/x64`)           | Supported     | Docker Engine, usable without interactive `sudo`                           |
| Intel macOS (`darwin/x64`)           | Not supported | —                                                                          |
| ARM64 Linux (`linux/arm64`)          | Not supported | —                                                                          |
| Windows                              | Not supported | Use an x86-64 Ubuntu environment in WSL2 for the currently documented path |

Project runtimes using `stack` mode also require the Docker Compose v2 plugin.

## 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.

<Warning>
  Linux Docker Desktop is not the qualified Linux configuration. The supported Linux target uses Docker Engine.
