PandaStack

Deploy on Mac (M1/M2/M3)

Local dev on Apple Silicon via Lima — for hacking on PandaStack itself.

Apple Silicon Macs are useful for local PandaStack development. Build the CLI from source and point it at the API you are running.

Build the CLI

git clone https://github.com/pandastack-io/pandastack
cd pandastack/cmd/pandastack
go build -o /usr/local/bin/pandastack ./

Configure

export PANDASTACK_API=https://api.pandastack.ai
export PANDASTACK_API_KEY=pds_abc123def456...

Use your local API origin instead of https://api.pandastack.ai when developing against a local control plane.

Smoke test

pandastack version
pandastack template list
pandastack sandbox create --template base --ttl 1h --cpu 2 --memory-mb 2048
pandastack sandbox exec <id> -- uname -a
pandastack sandbox delete <id>

The current CLI command tree is auth, template, sandbox, token, version, and help; it does not include a Mac-specific deploy command.

Deploy on AWS

PandaStack on bare-metal EC2 (c5n.metal / c7g.metal).

Deploy on-prem

Run PandaStack on your own bare-metal hardware.
