Using the ArangoDB Starter ========================== This section describes how to start an ArangoDB stand-alone instance using the tool [_Starter_](../../Programs/Starter/README.md) (the _arangodb_ binary program). Local Start ----------- If you want to start a stand-alone instance of ArangoDB, use the `--starter.mode=single` option of the _Starter_: ```bash arangodb --starter.mode=single ``` Using the ArangoDB Starter in Docker ------------------------------------ The _Starter_ can also be used to launch a stand-alone instance based on _Docker_ containers: ```bash export IP= docker volume create arangodb docker run -it --name=adb --rm -p 8528:8528 \ -v arangodb:/data \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ arangodb/arangodb-starter \ --starter.address=$IP \ --starter.mode=single ``` If you use an ArangoDB version of 3.4 or above and use the Enterprise Edition Docker image, you have to set the license key in an environment variable by adding this option to the above `docker` command: ``` -e ARANGO_LICENSE_KEY= ``` You can get a free evaluation license key by visiting https://www.arangodb.com/download-arangodb-enterprise/ Then replace `` above with the actual license key. The start will then hand on the license key to the Docker container it launches for ArangoDB.
