This guide outlines the path from a running LStack dashboard to a project that can execute tickets.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin:
  • Install and start LStack.
  • Start Docker if you want to create workers or use container-based project runtimes.
  • Make sure a compatible model endpoint is reachable from Docker containers.
  • Open the dashboard with lstack open.

​
Configure LStack

1

Add a provider

Open Providers, create a provider for your model endpoint, add its authentication details, and validate the connection.
2

Prepare the worker image

Follow the dashboard’s first-run guidance to build the managed worker image before creating your first worker.
3

Create a worker

Open Workers, select the provider, choose a worker policy, and create the worker. Wait for it to report as available.
4

Create a project

Open All projects, create a project, and select or create its workspace folder on the host computer.
5

Configure worker access

Choose which workers the project may use. A ticket can run only when an eligible worker is available to that project.
6

Create a ticket

Add a ticket to the board with a clear objective, then move it into the runnable workflow. Follow its execution status and session output from the dashboard.

​
Verify the installation

Use the CLI to confirm that the core is healthy:
If the dashboard works but worker actions are unavailable, check that Docker is running and that the worker image has been built.
