uv sync --group live,uv run rc db upgrade, anduv run rc seed. - Copy the env template with
cp .env.example .env, then start the API withcd apps/api && uv run uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080, the worker withcd apps/worker && uv run arq worker.settings.WorkerSettings, and the web app withcd apps/web && bun install && bun run dev. - Open http://localhost:5183, sign in with
admin/admin, change that password, and add a provider API key in Settings.
These steps come from our top use case, Run an authorized pentest and export the report, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
