How to Access Tyk Dashboard in Tyk OSS (Open Source Gateway)

Support
1

Hi Team,

I’m currently exploring the Tyk OSS (Open Source Gateway) and would like to understand the options available for accessing or enabling the Tyk Dashboard for API management.

From what I understand, the open source version includes the Tyk Gateway, but not the Dashboard or Portal components. However, I came across some installation scripts and older documentation referencing the Tyk Dashboard, and I’m unsure if it’s possible to use a dashboard UI with the OSS edition or if it’s strictly limited to the Tyk Pro/Enterprise version.

Could someone please clarify:

1.Is there a way to enable or access the Tyk Dashboard in the OSS version?

2.If not, are there any community-supported or limited UI tools that can be used with the open source gateway?

Any guidance or links to up-to-date documentation would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mahesh.

Hi Mahesh

There is no Open Source Dashboard, it has always been a proprietary product.
I’m not aware of any Open Source UI alternatives either.

It is not necessary to use the dashboard though, the gateway, combined with Tyk Pump, provides a great deal of capability and is very usable from command line or config files.
