ThunderID Server Setup
npx thunderid
Downloads the latest ThunderID release for the current OS/arch, runs first-time setup, and starts the server — no manual steps or Docker required.
Troubleshooting
Port 8090 is already in use — Another process is bound to 8090. Find and stop it with lsof -i :8090, or stop whatever previous ThunderID/other server instance is already running, then re-run npx thunderid.
Certificate warnings — ThunderID uses a self-signed HTTPS certificate on localhost:8090. Visit https://localhost:8090 in your browser and accept the warning before running your app.
