SeaTable Enterprise Edition (SeaTable EE) requires 4 cores and 8GB RAM. These resources guarantee good performance for most applications with several hundred concurrent connections. When bases become large, more RAM may be needed as SeaTable stores open bases in memory.

Since version 2.6, SeaTable EE requires a license to start. You obtain a license file from SeaTable Sales. A free license for three users can be obtained at https://seatable.io/on-premises. If you need a trial license with more users, utilize the request form after obtaining the 3-user license.

This tutorial assumes that no other services are installed on the server, especially no other services listening on port 80 and 443.

SeaTable uses Docker and Docker Compose. If your platform does not support Docker, you cannot install SeaTable.
