💖 PUSHPIN(1) — the girlies' guide to the pushpin manual page 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the General Commands Manual section and this whole page is about pushpin. No preamble, just vibes and a very good proxy. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pushpin — an HTTP reverse proxy server that supports streaming and long-polling services. she's the middleman of your dreams, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pushpin [--verbose] [--config=CONFIG] [--id=ID] [--port=PORT]
[--route=ROUTE] [--merge-output]

(yeah --verbose is right there in the synopsis and the page lowkey never explains it. iconic mystery behavior, we respect it 🙈)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Running pushpin starts pushpin using whatever configuration you hand it — that's the pushpin.conf file, the main character of your setup ✨

In the default configuration, this also starts condure, pushpin-proxy, and pushpin-handler. so you run one thing and suddenly there's a whole friend group running with you 😭💖

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --config CONFIG — point it at the configuration file you want. Default: /etc/pushpin/pushpin.conf. so if you don't say anything, that's where she's looking 👀
• --id ID — a unique numeric ID, so you can have multiple pushpin instances vibing at the same time. it's giving "I need my own name tag" 🎀
• --port PORT — the TCP port to listen on. usually this is configured in pushpin.conf instead, so like… it lives there, but she can hear you here too 🦋
• --route ROUTE — the connection forwarding specification. usually configured in /etc/pushpin/routes, same energy as above: it's in the file, but you can pass it in 🌸
• --merge-output — merges the output of subprocesses with pushpin's own output, instead of letting them write their own log files. one big group chat instead of everybody DMing separately, we love a merge 💅✨
