Deployment Quick Start
Start a single node cluster for testing, learning, or development.
This page will walk you through starting a single node Synnax cluster. To get started, select your operating system below:
Using Linux
To start a single node cluster on Linux, first download the latest Synnax binary by running:
curl -LO github.com/synnaxlabs/synnax/releases/download/synnax-v0.40.1/synnax-v0.40.1-linuxThen, move the binary to /usr/local/bin:
sudo mv synnax-v0.40.1-linux /usr/local/bin/synnaxNext, give execution permissions to the binary:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/synnax
You’ll need to make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH environment
variable. You can do this temporarily by running export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin.
Finally, start the node:
synnax start --listen=localhost:9090 --mem --insecure
This will start a single node cluster with the following parameters:
--listen=localhost:9090 - This sets the address that the node will listen on.
This is the reachable address of the node, and is also the address that other
nodes will use to connect when deploying a multi-node cluster.
--mem - Tells the node to store all data in memory, which is useful for
learning and development.
--insecure - Tells the node to run without TLS.
If you’re interested in more details on these flags, see the CLI Reference.
To stop the node, simply press Ctrl+C in the terminal.
