Getting Started

Download

Topic Master is distributed as a single binary for various platforms. You can download the appropriate executable for your operating system and architecture from the release page.

After downloading, make the binary executable. Replace <architecture> with your system’s architecture (for example, linux-amd64, darwin-arm64, etc.):

chmod +x topic-master<architecture>

For example, on a 64-bit Linux system:

chmod +x topic-master-linux-amd64

Start the Server

To start the application, you need to provide the HTTP address of your nsq_lookupd instance and specify a data folder for Topic Master. Each nsq_lookupd instance should have its own data_path.

Example command to start the app:

./topic-master -data_path=path/to/data -nsqlookupd_http_address=http://localhost:4161

On the first run, you will be prompted to set a root user password. This password will be stored in the database file. The application will then sync all topics to the database. You can also re-sync topics later via the UI.

After initialization is complete, the server will be available at the default port: 4181.
