RethinkDB: 1. Authenticate

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

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use RethinkDB cloud service, designed for reliability and ease of use. You benefit from:

• Smooth updates with a single click
• High performance and enhanced security on your own private, dedicated infrastructure

Get started quickly: you can try Stackhero's RethinkDB cloud hosting in just a few minutes. Stackhero takes care of installation and management, allowing you to focus on developing your application.

The simplest way to get started is to log in via 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 into the CLI itself.

Once logged in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by subsequent 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.

export STACKHERO_TOKEN="usr-xxxxxx:your-token"
