Description

The bootstrap command makes bootstrapping easier. It helps you to create organisations and users. The command needs a config file path. By default, it looks at tyk_analytics.conf in the directory where the tyk-analytics binary is located. For example:

tyk-analytics bootstrap

You can also give the path of a custom config file with the --conf flag. For example:

tyk-analytics bootstrap --conf some-directory/custom.conf

The tool can work in both auto and interactive modes. You can use the flags while running the command or you can just run it without flags and use interactive mode.

Environment Variables

You can override the config values by environment variables. See how to configure an environment variable.

For example, you can override hostname, port, mongo url, redis host and redis port values by exporting the following variables:

  • TYK_DB_HOSTCONFIG_HOSTNAME
  • TYK_DB_LISTENPORT
  • TYK_DB_MONGOURL
  • TYK_DB_REDISHOST
  • TYK_DB_REDISPORT
