Running Astralis Webserver

The Astralis CLI integrates with the Astralis Server to provide a central solution for collaboration on privacy and data governance tasks for teams.

The Astralis Server can be run locally, deployed to a cloud provider, or hosted by Ethyca. The Astralis Server unifies all privacy resources and provides a UI for collaborating and simplifying privacy tasks. For details on how to configure and deploy Astralis server, see the Installation guides.

Running the Webserver

The fides webserver command will use the first Astralis configuration it can read from to determine default state and start the Astralis Webserver.

With the Astralis Webserver running, the hosted UI is available at http://{server_url}/ (e.g. http://localhost:8080/).

For details, see the fides webserver command.

Managing the database

The fides db command accepts several subcommands to manage the primary Astralis database for the Astralis Server. Where necessary this supports initializing the database or resetting the database to its freshly initialized state.

For details, see the fides db command.

Checking server status

The fides status command will make a request to the Astralis server to check its health, current version and report back any possible issues.

For details, see the fides status command.
