+# 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.
