Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose v2+
- At least one AI provider API key (Groq recommended for development)
- 8GB+ RAM available for Docker
Clone the Monorepo
git clone https://github.com/anarlabs-ai/anar-monorepo.git
cd anar-monorepo
git submodule update --init --recursiveConfigure Environment
Copy the example environment file and add your API keys:
cp .env.example .envAt minimum, set your Groq API key:
GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_your_key_hereGroq for Development
Groq provides fast inference with generous free-tier limits, making it ideal for local development. You can add Azure and sovereign cloud keys later for production deployments.
Start the Platform
Launch all 14 products:
docker compose up -dVerify services are healthy:
docker compose psTest the Gateway
The Gateway is the entry point for all AI calls:
curl http://localhost:8080/healthSend a chat completion:
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Anar!"}]
}'Access Product Dashboards
Each product has a web dashboard for management and monitoring:
| Product | Backend | Dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway | localhost:8080 | localhost:3080 |
| Chat | localhost:8001 | localhost:3001 |
| Guard | localhost:8002 | localhost:3002 |
| Voice | localhost:8003 | localhost:3003 |
| Comply | localhost:8004 | localhost:3004 |
| Agents | localhost:8005 | localhost:3005 |
| Eval | localhost:8007 | localhost:3007 |
| Docs AI | localhost:8008 | localhost:3008 |
| Flow | localhost:8009 | localhost:3009 |
| Insights | localhost:8010 | localhost:3011 |
| Present | localhost:8011 | localhost:3014 |
| Translate | localhost:8012 | localhost:3012 |
| Minutes | localhost:8013 | localhost:3013 |
| Procure | localhost:8014 | localhost:3015 |
Enable Observability
Start the Grafana + LGTM observability stack:
docker compose --profile infra up -dAccess Grafana at localhost:3100 (default password: admin). The OTel Collector, Tempo, Loki, and Prometheus are pre-configured as data sources.
Generate an Auth Token
Most product APIs require a JWT. Use the shared library to generate a development token:
from anar_shared import make_auth
create_token, _ = make_auth(
jwt_secret="anar-chat-dev-secret-k8s7m2x",
jwt_algorithm="HS256",
jwt_expire_minutes=60,
)
token = create_token(subject="dev@anar.ai", role="admin")
print(token)Use the token in API calls:
curl http://localhost:8001/api/v1/conversations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"Next Steps
