To start Kaoto you need to start both the frontend and the backend.
The recommended quickstart way of running Kaoto is through Docker. The only pre-requisite is to have docker installed.
You can run the kaotoio/backend image with the following command:
docker run --rm -d -p 8081:8081 --name kaoto-backend kaotoio/backend
This will start the latest snapshot of the backend which will be reachable through the 8081 port.
You can test this worked by entering http://localhost:8081/step.
Once the backend is running, you can launch the frontend with the following command:
docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 --name kaoto-frontend kaotoio/frontend
This will start the latest snapshot of the backend which will be reachable through the 8080 port.
Open http://localhost:8080 to use Kaoto.
Always stop the containers when finishing using Kaoto so you don’t have containers dangling:
docker stop kaoto-backend
docker stop kaoto-frontend
