natsURL Y NATS server address URL “nats://localhost:4222”
jwt N NATS decentralized authentication JWT “eyJhbGciOiJ...6yJV_adQssw5c”
seedKey N NATS decentralized authentication seed key “SUACS34K232O...5Z3POU7BNIL4Y”

Create a NATS server


You can run a NATS Server with JetStream enabled locally using Docker:

docker run -d -p 4222:4222 nats:latest -js

You can then interact with the server using the client port: localhost:4222.


Install NATS JetStream on Kubernetes by using the helm:

helm repo add nats https://nats-io.github.io/k8s/helm/charts/
helm install my-nats nats/nats

This installs a single NATS server into the default namespace. To interact with NATS, find the service with: kubectl get svc my-nats.

Creating a JetStream KV bucket

It is necessary to create a key value bucket, this can easily done via NATS CLI.

nats kv add <bucketName>
