Supported Platforms and Environments
This page covers software-related environments TeamCity works with. For hardware-related notes, see this section.
TeamCity Server is a web application that runs within a capable J2EE servlet container. It requires a Java SE JRE installation to run. See notes on how to install Java on a TeamCity server.
Supported Java versions: OpenJDK and Oracle Java 8 (8u16 or later) and 11 (32 or 64 bit). Using 64-bit Java is recommended.
The TeamCity server Windows installer and server Docker images come bundled with Amazon Corretto 64-bit Java 11.
For Apple M1 systems, consider using a different version of Java 11, like Azul OpenJDK.
warning
Java 8 support will be discontinued in TeamCity Server 2023.04 (to be released in April 2023). If you use a non-bundled version of Java 8, we highly recommend that you migrate your server to Java 11 before this TeamCity release.
Note that TeamCity is not currently compatible with Java 17, which makes Java 11 the only version that will be supported in TeamCity Server 2023.04.
tip
The core features of TeamCity Server are platform-independent. See considerations on choosing the server platform.
