Installing the API Management Connector

The Connector consists of multiple docker containers. The minimum deployment consists of the Connector Server and Mongo DB for data storage. We provide a simple docker compose template that also deploys a demo API Management portal for Async APIs that is useful for debugging and prototype/POC activities.

Environment Variables

For the docker deployment you’ll need an environment file and we provide a sample environment configuration file.

The core variables required by the connector are documented here.

Docker based Deployment

The sample docker template sets up all components of the API-Management Connector using docker-compose: * Connector Services * Database Backend - Mongodb * Sample/Demo Portal Application * Nginx as reverse proxy

The README of the simple docker template contains more detailed information on the files that are part of the template:

  1. Files on the host system

  2. Configuration of the user registry

  3. Configuring the environment variables

  4. Running docker compose
