ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Rust Driver Quick Start Running ScyllaDB using Docker

Caution

You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Rust Driver. Switch to the latest stable version.

Running ScyllaDB using Docker¶

To make queries we will need a running ScyllaDB instance. The easiest way is to use a Docker image.
Please install Docker if it’s not installed.

Running scylla¶

To start ScyllaDB run:

# on Linux sudo might be required
docker run --rm -it -p 9042:9042 scylladb/scylla --smp 2

Docker will download the image, then after minute or two there should be a message like:

Starting listening for CQL clients on 172.17.0.2:9042

This means that ScyllaDB is ready to receive queries

To stop this instance press Ctrl + C
