KrakenD Enterprise Installation Guide

Document updated on Feb 2, 2020

KrakenD Enterprise is delivered in several formats, including Docker, Linux packages (deb, rpm) and generic installation options.

Docker

If you are already familiar with Docker, the easiest way to get started is by pulling our KrakenD image

$docker pull krakend/krakend-ee:2.3

After this command you will have in your local computer the krakend enterprise container.

Linux

Copy the license certificate to the server(s). Replace user@yourserver with your actual username and IP address:

ssh user@yourserver mkdir -p /etc/krakend/
scp LICENSE user@yourserver:/etc/krakend/LICENSE

CentOS/RockyLinux, Oracle Linux, and Redhat (yum)

The installation process requires following these steps:

1. Install the repo package
2. Install the KrakenD package
3. Start the KrakenD service

Paste this in the terminal:

$rpm -Uvh https://download.krakend.io/rpm/krakend-ee-repo-2.1-0.x86_64.rpm
yum install -y krakend-ee
systemctl start krakend-ee

Fedora

Paste this in the terminal:

$rpm -Uvh https://download.krakend.io/rpm/krakend-ee-repo-2.1-0.x86_64.rpm
dnf install -y krakend-ee
systemctl start krakend-ee

The current KrakenD version will run at least in Centos 7 and Fedora 24

Debian and Ubuntu

The installation process requires following these steps:

1. Add the key
2. Add the repo to the sources.list
3. Update your package list
4. Install the KrakenD service

Bottom line:

$apt install -y ca-certificates gnupg
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 5DE6FD698AD6FDD2
echo "deb https://download.krakend.io/apt stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/krakend.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y krakend-ee

Minimum supported versions are Debian 8, and Ubuntu 16.x.

Generic Linux (tar.gz)

You can also download the tar.gz and decompress it anywhere. Instructions to check the SHA and PGP signature here.

Download latest tar.gz (AMD64)

Download latest tar.gz (ARM64)

Once you have downloaded and uncompressed the binary, you should move the contents to each folder. You will need root permissions or add sudo to some of these commands:

mv usr/bin/krakend /usr/local/bin/krakend
mkdir -p /opt/krakend/
mv plugins /opt/krakend
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/krakend

Now you can type krakend.

To stop KrakenD graceful use any of these two commands:

killall -s SIGTERM krakend
killall -s SIGINT krakend
