Enable the Dev Portal
Available with Kong Gateway Enterprise subscription - Contact Sales

If you’re running Kong Gateway with a database (either in traditional or hybrid mode), you can use the Dev Portal.

Dev Portals are tied to workspaces. Each workspace has a separate Dev Portal instance.

Enabling the Dev Portal exposes the following URLs:

The workspace’s Dev Portal URL. For example, for the default workspace, the URL is: http://localhost:8003/default.
Dev Portal files endpoint: http://localhost:8001/files
Public Dev Portal files API: http://localhost:8004/files

To enable the Dev Portal, you must first deploy a license.

Docker

Linux (kong.conf)

In your Docker container, set the Portal URL and set KONG_PORTAL to on:
```
 echo "KONG_PORTAL_GUI_HOST=localhost:8003 KONG_PORTAL=on kong reload exit" \
   | docker exec -i kong-container-name /bin/sh
```
Replace kong-container-name with your Kong Gateway container.

The HOSTNAME for KONG_PORTAL_GUI_HOST should not be preceded by a protocol. For example, http://.

Enable the Dev Portal for a workspace:

 curl -i -X PATCH http://localhost:8001/workspaces/default \
   --data "config.portal=true"

Access the Dev Portal for the workspace using the URL specified in the KONG_PORTAL_GUI_HOST variable:
```
 http://localhost:8003/default
```
