Self-hosted

Run it locally

Open source, with Docker. The compose file starts RESTHeart and MongoDB, and the API answers on port 8080.

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/\
SoftInstigate/restheart/master/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up
curl -X PUT localhost:8080/inventory -u admin:secret
