# server
|
||||
|
||||
The `server` command starts a Vault server that responds to API requests. By
|
||||
default, Vault will start in a "sealed" state. The Vault cluster must be
|
||||
initialized before use, usually by the `vault operator init` command. Each Vault
|
||||
server must also be unsealed using the `vault operator unseal` command or the
|
||||
API before the server can respond to requests.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, please see:
|
||||
|
||||
- [`operator init` command](/docs/commands/operator/init.html) for information
|
||||
on initializing a Vault server.
|
||||
|
||||
- [`operator unseal` command](/docs/commands/operator/unseal.html) for
|
||||
information on providing unseal keys.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Vault configuration](/docs/configuration/index.html) for the syntax and
|
||||
various configuration options for a Vault server.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Start a server with a configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
$ vault server -config=/etc/vault/config.hcl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run in "dev" mode with a custom initial root token:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
$ vault server -dev -dev-root-token-id="root"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The following flags are available in addition to the [standard set of
|
||||
flags](/docs/commands/index.html) included on all commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `-config` `(string: "")` - Path to a configuration file or directory of
|
||||
configuration files. This flag can be specified multiple times to load
|
||||
multiple configurations. If the path is a directory, all files which end in
|
||||
.hcl or .json are loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
- `-log-level` `(string: "info")` - Log verbosity level. Supported values (in
|
||||
order of detail) are "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", and "err". This can
|
||||
also be specified via the VAULT_LOG environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dev Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `-dev` `(bool: false)` - Enable development mode. In this mode, Vault runs
|
||||
in-memory and starts unsealed. As the name implies, do not run "dev" mode in
|
||||
production.
|
||||
|
||||
- `-dev-listen-address` `(string: "127.0.0.1:8200")` - Address to bind to in
|
||||
"dev" mode. This can also be specified via the `VAULT_DEV_LISTEN_ADDRESS`
|
||||
environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
- `-dev-root-token-id` `(string: "")` - Initial root token. This only applies
|
||||
when running in "dev" mode. This can also be specified via the
|
||||
`VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID` environment variable.
