RethinkDB: 1. Authenticate

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

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use RethinkDB cloud service designed for reliability and ease of use. You get:

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

Get up and running fast: you can try Stackhero's RethinkDB cloud hosting in just a few minutes. Stackhero handles the setup and management, so you can focus on building your application.

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.

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