How to install Konnect locally?

Questions
1

We want to setup kong api gateway in database mode along with a UI tool for configuration. As I understand, konnect can act as the UI tool for configuring kong.

How can we install Konnect locally through docker-compose?

Thanks

You can’t.
Konnect is SaaS control plane for your Kong data planes.

What are you trying to achieve?
There a bunch of ways you can configure kong

  • admin api
  • declarative config using deck
  • Kong Manager

Hope that helps.

Ok, I understand.

What are you trying to achieve?

The goal is to have a UI above kong so that it could be configured easily.
Is Kong manager free? If so, is there a docker-compose file that includes both kong and kong manager?

Thanks.
