Deploying using the ArangoDB Starter

The ArangoDB Starter is designed to make it easy to start and maintain ArangoDB deployments

Setting up an ArangoDB cluster, for example, involves starting various nodes with different roles (Agents, DB-Servers, and Coordinators). The starter simplifies this process.

The Starter supports different deployment modes (single server, Active Failover, cluster) and it can either use Docker containers or processes (using the arangod executable).

Besides starting and maintaining ArangoDB deployments, the Starter also provides various commands to create TLS certificates and JWT token secrets to secure your ArangoDB deployments.

The ArangoDB Starter is an executable called arangodb and comes with all current distributions of ArangoDB.

If you want a specific version, download the precompiled executable via the GitHub releases page.
