How to Install Tyk on Fedora Server

In this tutorial, we will be installing Tyk on Fedora Server. Tyk is an open-source API management platform that allows developers to create, manage, and secure their APIs.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

  1. Fedora Server Latest installed on your machine.
  2. A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Docker

To install Tyk, we need to have Docker installed on our system. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo systemctl status docker

Step 2: Download Tyk Docker image

In this step, we will download the Tyk Docker image from Docker Hub.

sudo docker pull tykio/tyk-gateway:latest

This command will take some time to download the Tyk Docker image.

Step 3: Start Tyk Docker container

After downloading the Tyk image, we can start the container with the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name tyk_gateway --network host -v /opt/tyk-gateway/:/opt/tyk-gateway/ tykio/tyk-gateway:latest

This command will start the Tyk Docker container named tyk_gateway.

Step 4: Verify Tyk installation

To verify the Tyk installation, run the following command:

sudo docker ps

This command will show you the running Docker containers on your system. You should see the tyk_gateway container in the list.

Voila! You have successfully installed Tyk on your Fedora Server.
