hawkBit sandbox
We offer a sandbox installation that is free for everyone to try out hawkBit. However, keep in mind that the sandbox database will be reset from time to time. It is also not possible to upload any artifacts into the sandbox. But you can use it to try out the Management UI, Management API and DDI API.

Compile, Run and Getting Started
We are not providing an off the shelf installation ready hawkBit update server. However, we recommend to check out the Example Application for a runtime ready Spring Boot based update server that is empowered by hawkBit. In addition we have guide for setting up a complete landscape.
API stability
hawkBit is currently in '0.X' semantic version. That is due to the need that there is still content in hawkBit that is in need for refactoring. That includes the maven module structure, Spring Boot Properties, Spring Boot auto configuration as well as internal Java APIs (e.g. the repository API ).
However, the external APIs (i.e. Management API, DDI API, DDI Artifact Download API and DMF API are on major version 'v1' and will be kept stable.
hawkBit (Spring boot) starters
Next to the Example Application we are also providing a set of Spring Boot Starters to quick start your own Spring Boot based application.
