Learn Web Console
Web Console
LocalCloud includes a built-in web console at http://localhost:8080. It is served directly by the running LocalCloud container, so the console is available as soon as the gateway is healthy.
Dashboard
The dashboard is the fastest way to confirm the local runtime is ready:
- Service health grid — green/red/yellow status indicators for each service
- Project info and uptime — current project ID and container uptime
- Request counts — per-service API call counts
- Quick actions — Refresh, Reset All, Export environment variables
Service Explorer
Deep-dive into individual services with built-in tooling:
BigQuery & Spanner
- SQL Editor — write and execute queries with schema browsing
- Resizable editor panels — drag to resize the query editor and results
- Schema detection — browse datasets, tables, and column types
Cloud Storage
- File browser — navigate buckets and folders in a tree view
- File preview — click any object to view its contents
- Folder expansion — drill into nested path structures
Memorystore (Redis)
- Key browser — list all keys with type and TTL display
- Filtering — search and filter keys by pattern
- Value preview — view string, hash, list, set, and sorted set values
Data Browser
Read-only preview across all services:
| Service | What You Can Browse |
|---|---|
| Firestore | Collections and document JSON |
| BigQuery | Datasets, table schemas, sample rows |
| Cloud Storage | Buckets and object listings |
| Spanner | Instances, databases, table details |
| Secret Manager | Secret names (values redacted) |
| Pub/Sub | Topics and subscription status |
| Memorystore | Keys with types and TTL |
Logs Viewer
Real-time request log viewer:
- Auto-tail — configurable refresh interval (1–60 seconds)
- Service filtering — show logs for specific services only
- Color-coded status — HTTP status codes are color-coded for quick scanning
Usage & Cost Savings
Track your local development impact:
- API request counts per service
- Estimated GCP cost savings from local development
- Pricing reference — see what each API call would cost on real GCP
Settings
Configure the console and export configuration:
- Auto-refresh interval — control how often the dashboard updates
- Environment export — copy env vars in shell, Docker Compose, or JSON format
- SDK setup examples — ready-to-paste code for Python and Node.js
Opening the Console
open http://localhost:8080The console is served directly by the Armeria gateway — no separate process needed.
