Connect Akto with Docker

Introduction

You can add akto-traffic-collector service to your docker-compose file. Your APIs from this traffic will show up in Akto dashboard.

Adding Akto traffic processor

1. Set up and configure Akto Traffic Processor and save the mini-runtime service URL. The steps are mentioned here. Alternatively, if you're on on-premise deployment, save the runtime service URL.

Adding Akto docker service

1. Create a file docker-akto-collector.env with the following content.

   1. Replace <AKTO_NLB> with the mini-runtime/runtime service URL saved earlier.

   2. Replace <AKTO_MONGO_IP> with mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017, if you're on hybrid setup or with your mongodb IP if it's accessible and you're on on-premise deployment.
