Using the ArangoDB Starter

This section describes how to start an ArangoDB stand-alone instance using the tool Starter (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:

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:

export IP=<IP of docker host>
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
