How to set up the Console

Start Elastic Fruit Runner

Start the service with the method used for your installation.

For Homebrew:

brew services start elastic-fruit-runner

For Docker Compose:

docker compose up -d elastic-fruit-runner

For systemd:

sudo systemctl start elastic-fruit-runner

Find the setup code

The daemon creates a setup code only when no admin password exists. The code is valid only for the current daemon process.

For Homebrew:

grep '"msg":"console admin setup required"' /opt/homebrew/var/log/elastic-fruit-runner.log | tail -n 1

For Docker Compose:

docker compose logs elastic-fruit-runner | grep '"msg":"console admin setup required"' | tail -n 1

For systemd:

sudo journalctl -u elastic-fruit-runner | grep '"msg":"console admin setup required"' | tail -n 1

Treat the setup code as a password. Do not paste it into an issue, chat, screenshot, or shared log.

Create the admin

1. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080.
2. Enter the setup code.
3. Enter an admin password with 12 to 256 characters.
4. Enter the password again.
5. Select Create admin.

The Console signs you in and opens Overview.

Confirm access

Open each page in the left navigation:

1. Overview
2. Jobs
3. Runner Sets
4. Config
5. System

Sign out, then sign in again with the admin password.

Only one local admin account exists. A session lasts up to 24 hours.

If the setup code is missing or no longer valid, reset the Console password.
