Distributions

Dependency-Track has three distribution variants. They are:

Package	Package Format	Recommended	Supported	Docker	Download
API Server	Executable WAR
Frontend	Single Page Application
Bundled	Executable WAR

API Server

The API Server contains an embedded Jetty server and all server-side functionality, but excludes the frontend user interface.

Frontend

The Frontend is the user interface that is accessible in a web browser. The Frontend is a Single Page Application (SPA) that can be deployed independently of the Dependency-Track API Server.

Bundled

The Bundled variant combines the API Server and the Frontend user interface. This variant was previously referred to as the executable war and was the preferred distribution from Dependency-Track v3.0 - v3.8.

Deprecation Notice

This variant is supported but deprecated and will be discontinued in a future release.
