Step 2

Verify your install

Write a point. Query it back. Two curl commands, no client library needed.

Write
# Write a point (InfluxDB Line Protocol)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/write/line-protocol \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "x-arc-database: default" \
  --data-binary "cpu,host=server01 value=0.64"
Query
# Query it back with SQL
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sql":"SELECT * FROM cpu LIMIT 10"}'

Optional · Step 3

Add a UI with Arc Launchpad

Prefer a browser over curl? Arc Launchpad is a self-hosted web console for the Arc instances you run. Run SQL, explore schemas, and manage tokens, retention, alerts, continuous queries, and MQTT ingestion.

Deploy it alongside Arc with Docker Compose, then open http://localhost:3000 and connect your Arc endpoint.

# Run Arc + Launchpad together (see docs for the compose file)
LAUNCHPAD_JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) docker compose up -d
