The run instruction starts the server.

The configuration file is specified using the config option.

Any other option will be merged as a configuration property.

$ autoserver run --config=autoserver.config.yml --protocols.http.port=5001

Node.js

When fired from Node.js, autoserver.run() returns a promise, which resolves with:

• the protocols parameter
• the serverinfo parameter

If an error occurred, the promise will be rejected with an exception object.

import { run } from 'autoserver'

try {
  const { protocols, serverinfo } = await run()
  console.log('Servers started at:', protocols)
  console.log('Process id', serverinfo.process.id)
} catch (error) {
  console.log('Could not start servers:', error)
}

Stopping the server

To stop the server, you can:

• using the PID, fire process.kill(pid) from Node.js
• using the PID, fire kill $pid from the console
• type CTRL-C if the server is running in the console foreground. Type this only once, not twice, or the server will not properly shut down.

The PID (process ID) is available:

• using the serverinfo.process.id parameter. This parameter is also available in the resolved value of the promise returned by autoserver.run().
• printed on the console by the console log provider
