Boomi API Gateway installation
Boomi API Gateways are set up locally on a machine within your network. The single-tenant, clustered Gateway allows for any number of API deployments to be housed on it.
A Gateway can be installed on Windows or Linux servers, or deployed as a container using Docker or Kubernetes. In all cases, you manage the Gateway through the Boomi platform after installation.
Installation options
Choose the installation method that matches your environment:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Windows installation | Install on a Windows server using the GUI-based installer. Requires PowerShell 2.0. |
| Linux installation | Install on a Linux server using a command-line installer with NFS shared storage. |
| Docker deployment | Deploy using the official Boomi Gateway Docker image from Docker Hub. Ideal for DevOps and CI/CD workflows. |
| Kubernetes deployment | Deploy a containerized, elastically scalable Gateway cluster on Kubernetes with autoscaling support. |
Before installing, confirm your environment meets all Gateway system requirements.
note
Docker and Kubernetes deployments are advanced options that require familiarity with container technology. If you are new to container-based deployments, start with the Windows or Linux installation.
