SpiceDB

Hi all 🙂

Trying to replicate some of the steps from this blogpost here: https://authzed.com/blog/authzed-http-api
I can't reach the dashboard at localhost:8080
Do I need to enable the dashboard somehow?

Hi <@115174132420706304> , the dashboard is now deprecated, sorry about that. We have recently opensourced the playground, but I'm not entirely sure if you can connect it to a local spicedb instance.

FYI <@767896513590329344> as author, we may want to update that blogpost
cc <@404378326925443094> can the playground connect to a local spicedb instance?

Is there some way for me to get something akin to `/health` ? 🙂

there is a health endpoing in SpiceDB, but it's not an HTTP API, it's a gRPC API

so you need to install https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-health-probe, or use the one that comes with the container

<@115174132420706304> no `/health` endpoint via http but if you're looking for a rough equivalent you can use `ReadSchema` for a simple API to call to test the connection. We plan to allow the playground to connect to a spicedb instance but don't have a concrete timeline yet.

And I wrote that post 😅 so I'll get it updated. Thanks for letting us know
