Audience: developers running workflows or Conductor agents locally or against a hosted cluster.
Set the API URL, including /api, then add credentials only when the target
requires them:
export CONDUCTOR_SERVER_URL=https://your-server.example/api
export CONDUCTOR_AUTH_KEY=<key-id>
export CONDUCTOR_AUTH_SECRET=<key-secret>The Conductor CLI is the preferred local path:
conductor server start
conductor server status
export CONDUCTOR_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8080/apiDocker is an alternative: docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 conductoross/conductor:latest.
Stop CLI-managed servers with conductor server stop and containers with
docker stop <container>.
For agent runs, configure the LLM provider credential on the server before starting it. Continue with connection/authentication.
