Meilisearch: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Meilisearch, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

If you are looking for a fast, typo-tolerant search engine that is easy to deploy, Stackhero's Meilisearch cloud service lets you get started in just a few minutes. Here’s what you get:

• Custom domain support with integrated HTTPS for secure access.
• Simple, one-click updates. No manual intervention required.
• Consistent performance and strong isolation thanks to your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

You can launch your Meilisearch cloud hosting on Stackhero in just 5 minutes. The setup is designed to save you time and make your deployment straightforward.

The simplest way to get started is to log in through your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered directly into the CLI.

After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.
