Hello,

Just been trying to get my head around Tyk recently.

I would want a setup where I have a hostname identifying an API endpoint (rather than a path slug), and for this to be managed via the dashboard:

Request[ Host: my.api.name, Path: / ] → Tyk Gateway → [ Internal API: http://10.1.1.1/ ]

Looking at threads/issues/docs, it seems to be that the solution would be to run nginx and use host-manager to manage it.

Looking at Tyk 1.8 docs, I see that host-manager has been deprecated:

The host manager is a utility that helps you manage Tyk reloads (deprecated - now integrated into Tyk Gateway) and to manage your NGinX configuration and server.

Is this setup covered, with or without host manager?

Thanks for your work,
Alex

Hi Alex,

The host manager isn’t deprecated (we may want to change that wording), the host manager no longer manages Tyk cluster reloads, we do that directly in the gateway now. But it’s still a part of the Tyk distribution.

To get domain routing set up - you will need to set up the host manager - take a look at our quick starts (the docker one is a good start), it uses a local host name to get you going.

The easiest thing to do is take a look at how the docker images set themselves up, it’s all on GitHub.

Cheers,
Martin

Ahh, that makes much more sense.

Thanks!
