uqi is a lightweight user interface (UI) for managing kdb+ stacks. Download it from alphakdb.com/uqi.

​
Local

With the hub running on your local machine, create a new connection in the UI:
  • Type: q
  • Host: localhost
  • Port: 8000 (or your configured hub port)

​
Remote

To connect the UI to a remote server, use the cqi Command Line Interface (CLI) to bridge the connection between the UI and the hub. From the remote server, fetch cqi with: Linux: 
curl -fLO https://alphakdb.com/dist/lin/cqi && chmod +x cqi
Windows: 
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://alphakdb.com/dist/win/cqi.exe -OutFile cqi.exe

​
Start the API bridge

With cqi downloaded, run the following: Linux: 
./cqi api -hub 8000 -listen 9000
Windows: 
.\cqi.exe api -hub 8000 -listen 9000
If using a firewall or reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx on 443), point it to the -listen port.

​
Connect from the UI

With the hub and cqi running on the remote machine, create a new connection in the UI:
  • Type: api
  • Host: your-server-ip
  • Port: 9000 (or your proxy port e.g. 443)
