Install Kpow Enterprise

Get a license key, deploy Kpow however your infrastructure works, then connect your terminal and coding agents with the Factor House CLI.

Step 1

Get a license key

Enter your email and we'll send you an Enterprise license key: RBAC, data masking, multi-tenancy, staged approval workflows, and a full audit log.

Step 2

Install your way

Kpow runs as a single stateless container, with no database or proxy layer to stand up. Pick the deployment method that fits your environment.

Run Kpow in a single container

Pull the image and start Kpow with your license and Kafka connection details passed in as environment variables. Kpow has no external database, so a single container is the whole deployment.

docker pull factorhouse/kpow:latest

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  --env-file kpow.env \
  factorhouse/kpow:latest

Docker quick start guide

Deploy with the official Helm chart

Kpow's official Helm chart is signed, verified, and validated against a values schema, with a hardened container security context by default.

helm repo add factorhouse https://charts.factorhouse.io
helm repo update

helm install my-kpow factorhouse/kpow \
  --namespace factorhouse --create-namespace \
  --set env.LICENSE_ID="..." \
  --set env.LICENSE_CODE="..." \
  --set env.BOOTSTRAP="broker-1:9092,broker-2:9092"

Step 3

Set up the CLI and Agent Skills

Manage Kpow from your terminal with the fh CLI, and let your coding agents use it to investigate your Kafka clusters.

1. Install the CLI

The fh CLI is a single binary for Kpow, Flex, Iglu, and Factor Platform, using the same REST API as the web UI.
```
brew install factorhouse/tap/fh
```
2. Connect it to your deployment

Set the API URL, authentication method, default tenant, and cluster, then check the connection.
```
fh config configure
fh kafka topic list
```
3. Install Agent Skills

Give Claude Code, Codex CLI, or GitHub Copilot a set of skills that answer Kafka questions through the fh CLI.
```
fh skills install                  # Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot
fh skills install --agent claude   # Claude Code
```
