Standalone

Standalone only for quick experience for DolphinScheduler.

If you are a new hand and want to experience DolphinScheduler functions, we recommend you install follow Standalone deployment. If you want to experience more complete functions and schedule massive tasks, we recommend you install follow pseudo-cluster deployment. If you want to deploy DolphinScheduler in production, we recommend you follow cluster deployment or Kubernetes deployment.

Note: Standalone only recommends the usage of fewer than 20 workflows, because it uses in-memory H2 Database in default, ZooKeeper Testing Server, too many tasks may cause instability. When Standalone stops or restarts, in-memory H2 database will clear up. To use Standalone with external databases like mysql or postgresql, please see Database Configuration.

Preparation

  • JDK：download JDK (1.8+), install and configure environment variable JAVA_HOME and append bin dir (included in JAVA_HOME) to PATH variable. You can skip this step if it already exists in your environment.
  • Binary package: download the DolphinScheduler binary package at download page.

Database Configuration

Standalone server use H2 database as its metadata store, it is easy and users do not need to start database before they set up server. But if user want to store metabase in other database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, they have to change some configuration.
