Launching The Stack

Make sure that OrbStack (MacOS users) or Docker Desktop (Linux/Windows users) is running. The cillers run command will just wait for it to start otherwise.

Run the following command in your project's directory (the my-system directory unless you named it otherwise).

cillers run dev

You should now see the Polytope Container Runtime UI.

Just like in any operating system, some processes, such as init scripts, run to completion and some, such as databases, should be kept running.

Use the guide at the bottom of the Polytope UI to navigate. You will find the Polytope UI to be incredibly helpful and powerful.

Attention! If you are on a bad network, you may have to restart the "cillers run dev" command to get the initialization to complete, because of problems to load container images.
