Infrastructure and Initial Startup

You now have a minimal setup with which to run the application. But first you have to setup the appropriate infrastructure to get Flowable Engage running. Please review Step-by-Step Installation for a description on how to set up the proper infrastructure for Flowable.

For the current development setup at least one instance of Elasticsearch is needed. A docker image can be helpful to get the environment up and running quickly. The following docker-compose.yml file provides an Elasticsearch instance running locally on port 9200 and an ActiveMQ running on ports 61616 (JMS) and 616163 (STOMP).

version: '3.4'

elasticsearch01:
  image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:6.7.1
  ports:
    - 9200:9200
    - 9300:9300
  ulimits:
    memlock:
      soft: -1
      hard: -1

activemq01:
  image: rmohr/activemq
  ports:
    - 8161:8161
    - 61616:61616
    - 61613:61613

After you started Elasticsearch/ActiveMQ and the Spring Boot project from your IDE an Elasticsearch instance running locally on port 9200.
