FusionAuth FastPath(tm) Install

Software should be easy to install, so we've provided you with some shortcuts to getting up and running.

Docker

https://hub.docker.com/u/fusionauth/

https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers

Docker Compose

The reference docker-compose.yml defaults to use the database as the User search engine.

In order to install with Elasticsearch as the User search engine, include the reference docker-compose.override.yml.

Review our Docker Install Guide for additional assistance.

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/master/docker/fusionauth/docker-compose.yml
# Uncomment the following line to install and configure Elasticsearch as the User search engine
# curl -o docker-compose.override.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/master/docker/fusionauth/docker-compose.override.yml
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/master/docker/fusionauth/.env
docker-compose up

Docker Images

FusionAuth App (On Docker Hub)

docker pull fusionauth/fusionauth-app

When running FusionAuth in Docker with Elasticsearch as the User search engine, it is recommended to either connect to an external Elasticsearch service, or use the Docker images provided by Elasticsearch. See the reference docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.override.yml in the fusionauth-containers repository for an example in configuring Elasticsearch with FusionAuth.

Development

The install scripts must be compatible with CentOS, Ubuntu, Windows and macOS.

Ubuntu, Centos, and Windows testing have been automated via vagrant, go to the respective directory and run vagrant up. Once the VM has started you should be able to reach FusionAuth to perform any required testing. If you want to use a host machine database, the hosts IP address is 10.0.2.2 inside of the guest.

To test a system go to the related directory and run vagrant up. You can then visit http://localhost:9011 in your systems browser (on the host) and see if FusionAuth started up properly.

macOS could potentially be tested the same way, but the vagrant boxes aren't legally allowed to be distributed this way, so you would have to make your own.
