Getting started
Manual setup
Run llama-dash from source against an existing llama-swap instance.
Run llama-dash directly with Node when you already have a llama-swap instance, or you want a development setup.
Requirements
- Node 24+
- pnpm
- A reachable llama-swap instance
Install
Configure the environment
cp .env.example .envEdit .env and set INFERENCE_BASE_URL to point at your llama-swap instance (default http://localhost:8080). See Configuration for the full list of variables.
Install dependencies and migrate the database
pnpm install
pnpm db:migratepnpm db:migrate creates the SQLite database at data/dash.db. Migrations are always applied explicitly — they never run automatically at boot.
Start the dev server
pnpm devThe dev server runs on http://localhost:5173.
The development server listens on 5173; the production Docker image and the
diagrams in these docs use 3000. Adjust client base URLs to match how you run it.
