Introduction

Get Stalar running and connected to your infrastructure.

Prerequisites

A Stalar API key (sign up at stalar.dev)
Docker for deployment
Access to your infrastructure tools (Prometheus, Kubernetes, etc.)

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

2. Run Stalar

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32) \
  -e STALAR_API_KEY=sk_xxxxx \
  -v stalar_data:/app/data \
  ghcr.io/stalardev/stalar:latest

3. Configure integrations

Open http://localhost:3000 and add your integrations:

Connect to your Prometheus server
Add your Kubernetes cluster
Configure Loki for log access
Add other tools as needed

4. Start investigating

Ask questions like:

"Why is the API slow?"
"What errors happened in the last hour?"
"Show me pods with high restart counts"

Default Admin User

On first boot, Stalar creates a default admin account:

Email: [email protected]
Password: Set via STALAR_ADMIN_PASSWORD env var, or changeme if not set

⚠️ For production, always set STALAR_ADMIN_PASSWORD before first boot.

Config-managed integrations (from stalar.yaml) are owned by this admin user. Log in as admin to use them, or create your own integrations via the UI.

Next Steps
