Basic architecture
One Ignition 8.3 gateway plus an optional SQL database — the default starter shape, and the skeleton the other architectures build on.
What you get
| Gateways | 1 (gateway) |
| HTTP port | 9088 |
| Edition | standard, or Edge via --edge-role gateway |
| Default database | Postgres, with a pre-seeded connection |
| Network split | off (single bridge network) |
| Reverse proxy | optional (the wizard can scaffold ia-eknorr/traefik-reverse-proxy) |
The single gateway is named gateway, so its per-gateway .env keys collapse to the familiar GATEWAY_* form.
Run it
ignition-stack create demo --arch basic
Or pick basic at the wizard's first prompt. Then:
cd demo
docker compose up -d
# open http://localhost:9088 (admin / password)
When to use it
Reach for basic when you want a single gateway with a working historian and nothing else to reason about. Postgres seeds its gateway connection, so the stack comes up VALID with no manual setup. Pass --edge-role gateway to run the gateway as Edge, or choose None at the database prompt to drop the database.
