Existing 'Understanding Drupal' guide got migrated into new documentation system as 'System requirements' for Drupal 7.

We need to create similar guide for Drupal 8. The guide itself exists: https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/system-requirements, but it is empty.

Todos:
- Sign up as a maintainer for D8 Understanding Drupal guide
- Review D7 Understanding Drupal guide content and copy information that is relevant for D8 into D8 guide
- Add D8 specific information to the new guide

There's a Server Requirements page in the User Guide https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-requirements.html which covers a lot of this. A first step might be to go through that page, and compare it to the D7 page and create a list of what we might want to cover that isn't already addressed.

Thanks @rajibmp. If you don't hear back from the guides maintainer within a couple of days post here again and let me know and I can help you either track them down, or make sure the pages get reviewed and approved.

Hey @rajibmp, thanks for making the request. Since the existing maintainer didn't respond yet I've added you as a maintainer to the System Requirements guide so you can approve those pages and help with clean up of any others. Let me know if you've got any questions.

I'm going to close this issue. The requirements guide has been created, and has a good amount of content in it. For further changes or additions we can either discuss it in the comments for the guide or open new, and more specific, issues.

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I am looking for System HARDWARE requirements so we can order a new server to run Drupal, IIS, and MyPHP. I found the hardware requirements for Drupal 7 at https://www.drupal.org/node/1505394 but nothing seems to exist for Drupal 8.

Hardware requirements are still missing for Drupal 8. It is available for Drupal 7 at https://www.drupal.org/node/1505394
