Docker on Windows - Docker Pro Demo

The Tyk Pro Docker demo is our full On-Premises Pro solution, which includes our Gateway, Dashboard, and analytics processing pipeline. This demo will run Tyk Self-Managed Pro on your machine, which contains 5 containers: Tyk Gateway, Tyk Dashboard, Tyk Pump, Redis and MongoDB. This demo is great for proof of concept and demo purposes, but if you want to test performance, you will need to move each component to a separate machine.

Prerequisites

• MS Windows 10 Pro
• Docker Desktop for Windows running with a signed in Docker ID
• Git for Windows
• PowerShell running as administrator
• Postman for Windows
• Our Pro Demo Docker GitHub repo
• A free Tyk Self-Managed Developer licence

Step One - Clone the Repo

Clone the repo above to a location on your machine.

Step Two - Edit your hosts file

You need to add the following to your Windows hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.tyk-portal-test.com
127.0.0.1 www.tyk-test.com

Step Three - Add your Developer Licence

You should have received your free developer licence via email. Copy the licence key in the following location from your \confs\tyk_analytics.conf file:

{
  ...
  "license_key": "<LICENSE-KEY>"
  ...
}

Step Four - Run the Docker Compose File

From PowerShell, run the following command from your installation folder:

docker-compose up

This will will download and setup the five Docker containers. This may take some time and will display all output.

Step Five - Test the Tyk Dashboard URL

Click Bootstrap to save the details.

You can now log in to the Tyk Dashboard from 127.0.0.1:3000, using the username and password created in the Dashboard Setup screen.
