Examples

Running Detached

Running with manage_server start --detach will start the server without attaching to the process.

Note

Logs will not be printed to console when running detached. The logs subcommand can be used to view server logs.

Running with manage_server start --port 8081 will start the server, listening on port 8081

HTTP Host Validation

Running with manage_server start --allowed-host *.example.com --allowed-host localhost will validate that the Host header on all HTTP requests matches some subdomain of example.com or localhost.

Invalid requests will be met with a Bad Request (400) response.

Running on Docker Swarm

Note

Images must be present on each node before running. If you have more than a one node in your Swarm, please see the following example in the install instructions

Running with manage_server start --swarm will start the server in Docker Swarm. Use --swarm=<STACK_NAME> if you want to deploy with a non-default stack name.
