softwarity/meerkat-ce repository overview

⁠Meerkat Community

An authentication proxy and API gateway that puts access control in front of your internal applications. It signs people in, decides who may reach which application and which endpoint, routes the request, and records what happened. Your services receive requests that are already authenticated, with a signed JWT carrying the identity, the roles and the tenant.

One binary, no external dependency: no database to install, no cache, no broker.

This is the Community edition: free, production included, built from the public repository softwarity/meerkat-ce⁠. It does not carry the Enterprise code. The image with every edition, an evaluation without a license, is softwarity/meerkat⁠.

⁠Try it

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 9090:9090 \
  -e MEERKAT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=choose-one softwarity/meerkat-ce

• http://localhost:9090⁠ is the administration console: sign in as admin with the password you chose.
• http://localhost:8080⁠ is what your users reach. A fresh gateway has no route, so it answers 404 until you add one.

⁠Tags

• X.Y.Z, X.Y, X: a release, its latest patch, its latest minor.
• latest: the latest build of the main branch.

Images are published for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, and signed.
