Talend Server modules

Given that Oracle has a stated compatibility statement for Red Hat RHEL, Qlik considers that Oracle Linux is supported, for those versions which correspond to RHEL versions that Qlik lists in the User Documentation.

The server modules include:

Talend CI (Talend CommandLine)

Talend Runtime
Talend SAP RFC Server

Troubleshooting: Recent Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions, such as 11, no longer bundle any fonts, and therefore rely on the underlying operating system fonts. When using a bare minimum true headless Linux configuration, fontconfig and libfontconfig1 must be installed and configured on the system. Otherwise, the JRE cannot access the fonts needed by some components for rendering, and an error related to fontconfig or libfontconfig1 may occur at runtime.

Note: Qlik recommends to install Talend Remote Engine on x86-64 processor type. Talend Installer currently only supports Talend Remote Engine on x86-64 processor type.

Remote Engine Gen2

Requirements:

Qlik recommends to install Remote Engine Gen2 on x86-64 processor type. Talend Installer currently only supports Remote Engine Gen2 on x86-64 processor type.
Docker environment:
Remote Engine Gen2 runs in a Docker environment and requires the following Docker versions:
- Docker Compose plugin v2.21 and onwards.
  If both binary and plugin are installed, Docker Compose plugin is selected by default.
- Docker 24.x.

Ensure that the operating system you are using for Remote Engine Gen2 is supported by the required Docker versions.

For more information about the operating systems officially supported by Docker versions, see Docker's documentation.

Tip: Experimental operating systems by Docker are not supported.

Qlik supports only the operating systems officially supported by Docker, and has tested Remote Engine Gen2 on the following operating systems:

Compatible Linux operating systems for Remote Engine Gen2
Operating system (64 bit)	Version	Support type
Rocky Linux	9	Supported
Rocky Linux	8	Supported
CentOS	8	Deprecated
CentOS	7	Deprecated
Ubuntu	20.04	Recommended
Amazon Linux	Amazon Linux 2023	Supported
Amazon Linux	Amazon Linux 2	Deprecated
Debian	12	Supported

Known limitations:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7 and 8 are experimental on Docker and not officially supported by Remote Engine Gen2.
Remote Engine Gen2 does not support Windows due to its lack of support for Windows with Docker containers. While a Windows archive file is available for download, it only includes a .bat file intended for development purposes.

Statement regarding Virtualization and Docker deployments

Qlik supports running on virtual machines and Docker containers. For both Virtualization Systems and Linux based Docker containers, Qlik relies on the vendors’ compatibility statements to ensure the correct running and execution of the Talend software.

Qlik does not deliver prepackaged Docker Images or Dockerfile for Talend applications.
