# User Interface

**uqi** is a lightweight user interface (UI) for managing q stacks. Download it from [alphakdb.com/uqi](https://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)
