Dubbo Admin

Dubbo Admin is the console designed for better visualization of Dubbo services, it provides support for Dubbo3 and is compatible with 2.7.x, 2.6.x and 2.5.x.

There are four ways to deploy Dubbo Admin to a production environment.

1. Compile from source
2. Run with Docker
3. Run with Kubernetes
4. Run with Helm

Choose either method based on your environment, where Helm is the recommended installation method because Helm can be installed with a single click and automatically helps manage all of Admin's required production environment dependencies.

1.1 Compile from source

1. Download code: git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git
2. Change dubbo-admin-server/src/main/resources/application.properties configuration to make Admin points to the designated registries, etc.
3. Build
   • mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
4. Start
   • mvn --projects dubbo-admin-server spring-boot:run or
   • cd dubbo-admin-distribution/target; java -jar dubbo-admin-${project.version}.jar
5. Visit http://localhost:38080, default username and password are root

Security Notice: Please remember to change the admin.check.signSecret, admin.root.user.name and admin.root.user.password value before you deploy to production environment.

1.2 Run with Docker

Note: This method only supports running under linux system. Docker support for windows and mac systems will be released soon!

Dubbo-Admin image is hosted at： https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/apache/dubbo-admin.

You can run the image directly by mounting a volume from the host that contains an application.properties file with the accessible registry and config-center addresses specified.

$ docker run -itd --net=host --name dubbo-admin -v /dubbo/dubbo-admin/properties:/config apache/dubbo-admin

Replace /dubbo/dubbo-admin/properties with the actual host path (must be an absolute path) that points to a directory containing application.properties.

The application.properties configuration file is as follows (taking the zookeeper registration center as an example):

admin.registry.address=zookeeper://127.0.0.1:2181
admin.config-center=zookeeper://127.0.0.1:2181
admin.root.user.name=root
admin.root.user.password=root
admin.check.signSecret=86295dd0c4ef69a1036b0b0c15158d77

Security Notice: Please remember to change the admin.check.signSecret, admin.root.user.name and admin.root.user.password value before you deploy to production environment.

Open web browser and visit http://localhost:38080, default username and password are root.

1.3 Run with Kubernetes

1. Download Kubernetes manifests

$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git

Switch to the ‘dubbo-admin/kubernetes/dubbo-admin’ directory to see the Admin kubernetes resource file

$ cd dubbo-admin/kubernetes/dubbo-admin

2. Install Dubbo Admin

Open configmap.yaml and modify accordingly to override configurations in application.properties.

Security Notice: Please remember to change the admin.check.signSecret, admin.root.user.name and admin.root.user.password value before you deploy to production environment.

Run the following command:

$ kubectl apply -f ./

3. Visit Admin

$ kubectl port-forward service dubbo-admin 38080:38080

Visit http://localhost:38080

1.4 Helm with Admin

There are two ways to run Admin through Help. They have the same effect, so you can choose any of the following.

1. Download chart source file

clone Dubbo Admin project storehouse:

$ git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin.git

Switch from the warehouse root directory to the following directory deploy/charts/dubbo-admin

$ cd dubbo-admin/charts/dubbo-admin

2. Install helm chart

Start parameters of Admin so that Admin can connect to the real production environment registry or configuration center. You can specify a custom configuration file through the following -f help parameter:

properties:
  admin.registry.address: zookeeper://zookeeper:2181
  admin.config-center: zookeeper://zookeeper:2181
  admin.metadata-report.address: zookeeper://zookeeper:2181
  admin.root.user.name: root
  admin.root.user.password: root
  admin.check.signSecret: 86295dd0c4ef69a1036b0b0c15158d77

Security Notice: Please remember to change the admin.check.signSecret, admin.root.user.name and admin.root.user.password value before you deploy to production environment.

$ helm install dubbo-admin -f values.yaml .

properties in values.yml will override those defaults in Admin application.properties, In addition to ‘properties’, you can also customize other properties defined by Admin chart, check here for Complete parameters。
