## Requirements
-- A **Debian or Ubuntu** server (a small VM is enough) with **root** access.
-- A **public IP**. Optionally a domain whose DNS points at the server (for automatic HTTPS).
-- Only **git** to fetch the repo — the installer sets up Docker and everything else.
+**The Clusev panel host** — the one VM that runs the dashboard:
+
+- **OS:** Debian 12/13 or Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, with **root** access.
+- **CPU / RAM:** 1 vCPU and **1 GB RAM** minimum (**2 GB recommended**) — the whole Docker stack
+ (app, MariaDB, Redis, Reverb, queue) runs here.
+- **Disk:** ~**5 GB** free minimum (**10 GB+** recommended — image and database grow over time).
+- **Network:** a **public IP**; optionally a domain whose DNS points at the server (for automatic
+ HTTPS — Let's Encrypt needs ports **80/443** reachable).
+- **Tools:** only **git** to fetch the repo — the installer sets up Docker and everything else.
+
+**The servers you manage** need **nothing installed** — just **SSH** reachable from the panel and a
+standard Linux `/proc`. Full control (service management + hardening) additionally needs **systemd**
+and one of `apt` / `dnf` / `zypper`. See [**Supported operating systems**](#supported-operating-systems).
+
+---
+
+## Supported operating systems
+
+Clusev is **agentless** — it manages whatever it can reach over SSH. How much works depends on the
+target's init system and package manager:
+
+| OS family | Metrics | systemd services | Hardening
(SSH · fail2ban · firewall · auto-updates) |
+|:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|
+| **Debian · Ubuntu** (and derivatives) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| **RHEL · Fedora · Rocky · AlmaLinux · CentOS Stream · Amazon Linux** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| **openSUSE · SLES** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| **Arch** | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ not yet (`pacman` not wired) |
+| **Alpine** (OpenRC) | ✅ | ❌ no systemd | ❌ |
+| **Other / unidentified Linux** | ✅ if `/proc` present | ❌ | ❌ |
+
+**Metrics** (CPU, memory, disk, load) read from `/proc` and work on essentially any Linux. **Service
+control** needs **systemd**. **Hardening** uses the host's firewall (`ufw` / `firewalld`) and package
+manager (`apt` / `dnf` / `zypper`); where those aren't present, the action is shown as unavailable
+rather than failing silently.
