A 5 digit passcode is generated by the install script. It can be found in the preference file, which is generally located at /usr/local/etc/istatserver/istatserver.conf. iStat for iOS and iStat for macOS will ask for this passcode the first time you connect to your computer.
iStat Server does not install any scripts to start itself at boot. Sample scripts for rc.d, upstart and systemd are included in the resources directory. You may need to customize them depending on your OS.
iStat Server is based on istatd by William Tisäter
