Running Ignite as a Service

Note
When running on Windows 10 WSL or Docker, you should start Ignite as a stand-alone process (not as a service). We recommend to install Ignite 3 using ZIP archive in these environments.

To start a Ignite node with a custom configuration, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start ignite3db

To launch the node at system startup, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable ignite3db

Running Ignite as a Stand-Alone Process

Generally, you would want to run Ignite as a service. However, Ignite also provides a startup script that can be used to start it as a stand-alone application. To run it, use the following command:

sudo bash /usr/share/ignite3db/start.sh 1>/tmp/ignite3-start.log 2>&1 &

Next Steps

With the Ignite installed, you can proceed with the Getting Started or use the available APIs immediately.
