Adding Flex Replicas in Connected Mode

Before You Begin

Before getting started, ensure you have completed the following tasks:

Add a Flex Replica as a Linux Service

Adding a Flex Replica as a Linux Service includes the following tasks:

  • Copy and paste the registration file created during registration to your Linux machine or VM.

  • Run the Flex Gateway start command.

Copy the Registration File

Copy the registration.yaml file to the following location on your Linux machine or VM:

  • /usr/local/share/mulesoft/flex-gateway/conf.d

Start Commands

Start Flex Gateway with the following command:

sudo systemctl start flex-gateway

Verify that the Flex Gateway service is running successfully:

systemctl list-units flex-gateway*

You should see a list of services. Flex Gateway is successfully running if each service has a status of active.

  UNIT                              LOAD   ACTIVE SUB     DESCRIPTION
  flex-gateway-fluent-reloader.path loaded active waiting flex-gateway-fluent-reloader.path
  flex-gateway-agent.service        loaded active running flex-gateway-agent.service
  flex-gateway-envoy.service        loaded active running flex-gateway-envoy.service
  flex-gateway-fluent.service       loaded active running flex-gateway-fluent.service
  flex-gateway.service              loaded active exited  Application

Now if you check in Runtime Manager after clicking Flex Gateway in the left navigation, your Flex Gateway will have an additional replica listed. You may need to refresh the page.

Add a Flex Replica in a Docker Container

To add a Flex Replica in a Docker Container you must run the Flex Gateway start command using the same registration.yaml file created during registration. If you are running the container locally, you will also need to use a different port.

Start Command

Before executing the start command below, update the absolute path to the directory where your Flex Gateway registration files reside.

docker run --rm \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v <absolute-path-to-directory-with-gateway-registration-files>/:/usr/local/share/mulesoft/flex-gateway/conf.d \
mulesoft/flex-gateway
Specify an optional name you want to assign to your Flex Replica by including the following: -e FLEX_NAME=<name-for-flex-replica> \.

Now if you check in Runtime Manager after clicking Flex Gateway in the left navigation, your Flex Gateway will have an additional replica listed. You may need to refresh the page.
