# uniac dev

> Run a local dev stack.

```bash theme={null}
uniac dev [name]
```

Starts a local dev stack (Docker + Caddy + a private registry), builds the current Uniac System against it, and opens the dashboard at `https://uniac.ai/local/bootstrap` pointed at this stack.

Without a `name`, uses the default stack for this project. With a `name`, runs a separate stack — useful for testing two configurations side-by-side.
