Programmatic Provisioning

Posit Connect supports the programmatic bootstrapping of an administrator API key for scripted provisioning tasks. This process is supported by the rsconnect bootstrap command, which uses a JSON Web Token to request an initial API key from a fresh Connect instance.

rsconnect bootstrap \
    --server https://connect.example.org:3939 \
    --jwt-keypath /path/to/secret.key

A full description on how to use rsconnect bootstrap in a provisioning workflow is provided in the Connect administrator guide’s programmatic provisioning documentation.
