Tyk has three containers that are available to set up a Docker installation:
All three are required for a full deployment. We recommend that each container is installed on a separate machine for optimum performance.
From v5.5.0 onwards, these images are based on distroless. This means that you will not be able to obtain a shell with docker run --rm -it tykio/tyk-gateway:v5.5.0 sh. The image can be inspected with tools like dive or Docker Desktop.
We also have a Docker Tyk Pro Demo, which installs our full Self-Managed solution, which includes our Gateway, Dashboard, and analytics processing pipeline. This demo will run Tyk Self-Managed on your machine.
