This guide gets you from a running StacyVM server to a verified sandbox workflow.

Prerequisites

  • A StacyVM server listening on http://localhost:7423.
  • Docker installed and available to the StacyVM process when using the default Docker provider.
  • An API key if auth.enabled is set in your config.
