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.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
To install Tyk, we need to have Docker installed on our system. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo dnf install docker
After installation, start and enable Docker with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
To confirm that Docker is running, run:
sudo systemctl status docker
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.
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.
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.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Tyk on Fedora Server. Tyk is a powerful API management tool that will enable you to manage and secure your APIs.
