Deploy Redpanda Console on Linux

This page shows you how to deploy Redpanda Console on Linux using Docker or the packages.

Prerequisites

Deploy with Docker

Run Redpanda Console as a Docker container:

docker run -d \
  --name redpanda-console \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e KAFKA_BROKERS=localhost:19092 \
  docker.redpanda.com/redpandadata/console:v3.7.4

Deploy the packaged Redpanda Console

Redpanda Console is available as OS packages (deb/rpm) for Linux distributions. The following instructions install the redpanda-console package from the official repositories and enable the systemd service for Redpanda Console.

Redpanda’s Linux package repositories are moving from dl.redpanda.com to linux.pkg.redpanda.com, with a new GPG signing key. The legacy dl.redpanda.com repository is scheduled to shut down on September 28, 2026. If you currently install or upgrade Redpanda from dl.redpanda.com, re-point your package manager before then. For steps, including a manual configuration option for environments that cannot pipe a script to bash, see Migrate the Linux Package Repository.

  1. Install Redpanda Console:

    • Fedora/RedHat

    • Debian/Ubuntu

    curl -1sLf 'https://linux.pkg.redpanda.com/setup-redpanda.rpm.sh' | \
sudo -E bash && sudo yum install redpanda-console -y
    curl -1sLf 'https://linux.pkg.redpanda.com/setup-redpanda.deb.sh' | \
sudo -E bash && sudo apt-get install redpanda-console -y

  2. Start Redpanda Console:

    sudo systemctl enable --now redpanda-console

  3. Make sure that Redpanda Console is active and running:

    sudo systemctl status redpanda-console
