Meilisearch: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Meilisearch, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

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

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

You can be up and running with Meilisearch cloud hosting on Stackhero in just 5 minutes. The setup is designed to save you time and keep your deployment straightforward.

The easiest way to get started is by logging 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 into the CLI itself.

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

For fully automated environments like scripts or CI pipelines, you might 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, and any script you run, will pick it up automatically.
