Get Bondy

The tutorials need a running Bondy node. Pick the installation that fits how you work, follow it, and come back with a node listening on the default ports below.

Install using Docker

Run the official image. The fastest way to get a single node.

Install from Source

Build a release yourself, to contribute or to target a platform without an image.

Install using Kubernetes

Run a cluster as a StatefulSet that forms itself through peer discovery.

Default listeners

A node whose bondy.conf declares no listeners.* key starts these listeners. The tutorials assume them.

Listener	Port	Serves
api_gateway_http	18080	API Gateway specifications, and WAMP over WebSocket (/ws), Server-Sent Events and long-poll.
wamp_tcp	18082	WAMP over RawSocket.
admin	18081	The Admin HTTP API, WAMP over WebSocket, the /ping and /ready health endpoints, and /metrics. Bound to loopback.

The tutorials run a single node, so set cluster.enabled = off in its bondy.conf, as the Docker and source guides do. A node left on the default on with no other member refuses every authentication under the default fence policy. A node that clusters also opens port 18086 for connections from other nodes in its cluster; see cluster.peer_port.

None of the default listeners uses TLS. To add TLS listeners or change ports, declare your own listeners; see Network Listeners. Declaring any listener replaces this set, except admin, which a node always has.
