NAME
Langertha::Knarr::CLI::Cmd::Start - Start the Knarr proxy server
VERSION
version 1.102
DESCRIPTION
Implements the knarr start command. Loads the config file, validates it, and starts the server.
With --from-env, the config is built automatically from environment variables when no config file is found — this is how the Docker image starts.
The listen addresses come from -p when given (each port on -H, default 0.0.0.0), otherwise from the config's listen:, which defaults to 127.0.0.1:8080 and 127.0.0.1:11434. -H alone changes nothing.
-w/--workers N (else the config's workers: or KNARR_WORKERS, default 1; a value below 1 stops start before the banner) serves from N processes: Knarr binds the listen addresses, runs auto-discovery and the capability probe once, then forks N workers that accept on the same sockets, and supervises them -- a worker that exits is restarted, SIGTERM/SIGINT stops them all. Sessions (a Raider conversation) live in one worker and are not routed back to it. See "workers" in Langertha::Knarr and "run" in Langertha::Knarr.
See knarr for the full option reference and Langertha::Knarr::Config for the configuration file format.
