✨ INTAKE-SERVER(1) ✨

User Commands 💖 the intake-server manual, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, you know intake-server? it's the Intake catalog server and it's literally the main character of this page. it's a program, it lives in the User Commands section, and it's about to serve you catalogs like it's hosting the most exclusive party on port 5000. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

intake-server [-h] [-p PORT] [--list-entries] [--sys-exit-on-sigterm]
[--flatten] [--no-flatten] [--ttl TTL] [-a ADDRESS] FILE [FILE ...]

like. look at her. so many options. so much power. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The Intake Catalog Server takes one or more catalog files as input and makes them available on port 5000 by default. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand it catalogs, it serves them. iconic behaviour, no notes. ✨

🎀 positional arguments:

  • FILE — name of the catalog YAML file. give it one, give it five, it's not judging. well. it might want at least one. FILE [FILE ...], iykyk. 💖

💜 optional arguments:

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. classic. the "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
  • -p PORT, --port PORT — port number for server to listen on. default is 5000, but you can absolutely change the venue. 🎀
  • --list-entries — list catalog entries at startup. so you can see what you're working with. a little pre-game inventory check, we love to see it. ⭐
  • --sys-exit-on-sigterm — internal flag used during unit testing to ensure that the .coverage file is written. ngl bestie this one is not for you, it's for the tests. but it's here, and we respect it. 🧚
  • --flatten — specify that all datasources are merged in a single namespace. everything in one big bowl. one vibe. 🍓
  • --no-flatten — make sure each file becomes a sub-catalog. instead of one big bowl, you get a little bento box. cute. 🎀
  • --ttl TTL — time-to-live, how long before the given entity is considered to have expired, usually in seconds. it's giving "how long until this thing ghosts us". 💀
  • -a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS — address to use as a host, defaults to the address in the configuration file, if provided, otherwise localhost. so: config file address if there is one, localhost if there isn't. that's the whole rule, fr fr. 🌈
