💖 sigul_server — the signing server, bestie edition 💖

okay so picture this: it's sigul_server(1) from the sigul manual, and she is the signing server. main character energy fr.

✨ NAME ✨

sigul_server — a signing server 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sigul_server [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She just... keeps connecting to a sigul_bridge. Over and over. Repeatedly. Like, that's the whole thing — she connects to a sigul_bridge to receive a request from a client, and then acts upon it. Receives, acts, receives, acts. Iconic loop behaviour, no cap. 🔁

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -c, --config-file PATH — use PATH as the per-user configuration file instead of ~/.sigul/server.conf. yes bestie, you get to pick your own file, we love a customizable queen 🎀
• -d, --daemonize — detach from the terminal and run in the background. she's leaving the group chat to go be mysterious. bye girl, we'll know you're fine because you're literally not on screen anymore 🌙
• -v, --verbose — be more verbose. and if you use this option twice, debugging output gets enabled. double it and pass it to the next one, that's the debug pipeline 🗣️🔥

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

sigul_server returns with exit status 0 when she gets interrupted with SIGINT, and non-zero on an unrecoverable error. so like, 0 means "okay you Ctrl-C'd me, that's valid, love that for us", and non-zero means something is genuinely cooked 😭

---

📁 FILES 📁

• /etc/sigul/server.conf — a system-wide configuration file. the communal one, everyone's sharing it 🫶
• ~/.sigul/server.conf — a per-user configuration file. and here's the tea: values defined in this file override the system-wide configuration file. your file wins, always, periodt ✨
• /var/run/sigul_server.pid — a file that contains the process ID of the bridge while it is running. (yes, the bridge. that's what it says. keeping it exactly as written, don't come for me 💅)

---

🎀 NOTES 🎀

Before you start sigul_server for the very first time — and I mean before, not "oops I'll do it after" — you gotta:

1. create her database using sigul_server_create_db(8)
2. set up the first singing— sorry, signing server administrator using sigul_server_add_admin(8)

do it in that order or she simply will not know who she is. character development requires setup, bestie 🌈
