Konga

Install and run Konga GUI for Kong OSS with Docker

I assume that you have an instance of Kong already up and running in localhost and the Admin API is listening on port 8001.

  1. Get the GUI container:
sudo docker pull pantsel/konga
  1. Start Kong Dashboard:
sudo docker run -d --name konga-gui \
             --network host \
             -p 1337:1337 \
             -e "NODE_ENV=production" \
             -e "TOKEN_SECRET=mysecrettoken" \
             pantsel/konga
  1. Go to http://localhost:1337
  2. Fill-in the fields with a username, e-mail, password and click on CREATE ADMIN. This will redirect you to the login page, go ahead and login with the credentials you just entered.
  3. You will see the welcome dashboard in which you need to configure your connection to Kong:
Name: Local_Kong
Kong Admin URL: http://localhost:8001
  1. Click on CREATE CONNECTION and you are all done.

After rebooting, use the following commands to start the containers:

sudo docker container start konga-gui
