JAMI(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, jami — it's the Qt-based user interface for Jami 💖 like, the whole client app, the thing you actually look at and click on.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

jami [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

jami is a Qt-based client application (aka the user interface) for Jami, which is an official GNU package for universal communication that respects the freedom and privacy of its users 🫶✨

like. it respects your freedom AND your privacy. no cap. iconic behaviour fr fr 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — shows you the help for command line options and then dips out. bye bestie 👋
• --help-all — same energy, but it also shows the Qt-specific command line options, then exits. the full lore drop 📖✨
• -v, --version — prints the version info and exits. short and sweet 🍓
• --disable-web-security — tells it not to enforce the same-origin policy. and get this: jami currently uses this by default, so that local resources can load in the chatview (for media and link preview, and the emoji picker 🎀).

this is a Qt WebEngine Chromium flag, and it's only applicable if jami was built with Qt WebEngine.

• --no-sandbox — disables the security sandbox for Qt WebEngine's renderer and plugin processes.

this is a Qt WebEngine Chromium flag, and it's only applicable if jami was built with Qt WebEngine.

• --single-process — runs Qt WebEngine's renderer and plugins in the same process as its browser. super handy for getting stack traces when the renderer crashes 😭 and yeah, jami currently uses this by default.

this is a Qt WebEngine Chromium flag, and it's only applicable if jami was built with Qt WebEngine.

• --remote-debugging-port=<port_number> — the local port to run the Qt WebEngine developer tools interface on, which is useful for inspecting and debugging web views 🔍

to access the Qt WebEngine developer tools after launching jami with this flag, open the address http://localhost:<port_number> in your web browser.

this is a Qt WebEngine flag, and it's only applicable if jami was built with Qt WebEngine.

• -m, --minimized — starts jami minimized. tiny little guy, sitting quietly 🙈
• -d, --debug — enables debug mode for more verbose console output. the group chat gets chatty 💀
• -f, --file=<file> — writes the debug output to <file>.
• -t, --term — terminates all other currently running instances of jami. it's giving main character energy, and also menace 💅
• -q, --quiet — mutes daemon logging, which is useful when you're only debugging the Qt-based client application (the user interface).

heads up: this is only applicable when debug mode is enabled ⚠️
