Usage: vault server [options] This command starts a Vault server that responds to API requests. By default, Vault will start in a "sealed" state. The Vault cluster must be initialized before use, usually by the "vault operator init" command. Each Vault server must also be unsealed using the "vault operator unseal" command or the API before the server can respond to requests. Start a server with a configuration file: $ vault server -config=/etc/vault/config.hcl Run in "dev" mode: $ vault server -dev -dev-root-token-id="root" For a full list of examples, please see the documentation. HTTP Options: -address=<string> Address of the Vault server. The default is https://127.0.0.1:8200. This can also be specified via the VAULT_ADDR environment variable. -agent-address=<string> Address of the Agent. This can also be specified via the VAULT_AGENT_ADDR environment variable. -ca-cert=<string> Path on the local disk to a single PEM-encoded CA certificate to verify the Vault server's SSL certificate. This takes precedence over -ca-path. This can also be specified via the VAULT_CACERT environment variable. -ca-path=<string> Path on the local disk to a directory of PEM-encoded CA certificates to verify the Vault server's SSL certificate. This can also be specified via the VAULT_CAPATH environment variable. -client-cert=<string> Path on the local disk to a single PEM-encoded CA certificate to use for TLS authentication to the Vault server. If this flag is specified, -client-key is also required. This can also be specified via the VAULT_CLIENT_CERT environment variable. -client-key=<string> Path on the local disk to a single PEM-encoded private key matching the client certificate from -client-cert. This can also be specified via the VAULT_CLIENT_KEY environment variable. -disable-redirects Disable the default client behavior, which honors a single redirect response from a request The default is false. This can also be specified via the VAULT_DISABLE_REDIRECTS environment variable. -header=<key=value> Key-value pair provided as key=value to provide http header added to any request done by the CLI.Trying to add headers starting with 'X-Vault-' is forbidden and will make the command fail This can be specified multiple times. -mfa=<string> Supply MFA credentials as part of X-Vault-MFA header. This can also be specified via the VAULT_MFA environment variable. -namespace=<string> The namespace to use for the command. Setting this is not necessary but allows using relative paths. -ns can be used as shortcut. The default is (not set). This can also be specified via the VAULT_NAMESPACE environment variable. -non-interactive When set true, prevents asking the user for input via the terminal. The default is false. -output-curl-string Instead of executing the request, print an equivalent cURL command string and exit. The default is false. -output-policy Instead of executing the request, print an example HCL policy that would be required to run this command, and exit. The default is false. -policy-override Override a Sentinel policy that has a soft-mandatory enforcement_level specified The default is false. -tls-server-name=<string> Name to use as the SNI host when connecting to the Vault server via TLS. This can also be specified via the VAULT_TLS_SERVER_NAME environment variable. -tls-skip-verify Disable verification of TLS certificates. Using this option is highly discouraged as it decreases the security of data transmissions to and from the Vault server. The default is false. This can also be specified via the VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY environment variable. -unlock-key=<string> Key to unlock a namespace API lock. The default is (not set). -wrap-ttl=<duration> Wraps the response in a cubbyhole token with the requested TTL. The response is available via the "vault unwrap" command. The TTL is specified as a numeric string with suffix like "30s" or "5m". This can also be specified via the VAULT_WRAP_TTL environment variable. Command Options: -config=<string> Path to a configuration file or directory of configuration files. This flag can be specified multiple times to load multiple configurations. If the path is a directory, all files which end in .hcl or .json are loaded. -exit-on-core-shutdown Exit the vault server if the vault core is shutdown. The default is false. -log-format=<string> Log format. Supported values are "standard" and "json". The default is (not set). -log-level=<string> Log verbosity level. Supported values (in order of detail) are "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", and "error". The default is (not set). This can also be specified via the VAULT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. -recovery Enable recovery mode. In this mode, Vault is used to perform recovery actions.Using a recovery operation token, "sys/raw" API can be used to manipulate the storage. The default is false. Dev Options: -dev Enable development mode. In this mode, Vault runs in-memory and starts unsealed. As the name implies, do not run "dev" mode in production. The default is false. -dev-listen-address=<string> Address to bind to in "dev" mode. The default is 127.0.0.1:8200. This can also be specified via the VAULT_DEV_LISTEN_ADDRESS environment variable. -dev-no-store-token Do not persist the dev root token to the token helper (usually the local filesystem) for use in future requests. The token will only be displayed in the command output. The default is false. -dev-root-token-id=<string> Initial root token. This only applies when running in "dev" mode. This can also be specified via the VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID environment variable. -dev-tls Enable TLS development mode. In this mode, Vault runs in-memory and starts unsealed, with a generated TLS CA, certificate and key. As the name implies, do not run "dev-tls" mode in production. The default is false. -dev-tls-cert-dir=<string> Directory where generated TLS files are created if `-dev-tls` is specified. If left unset, files are generated in a temporary directory.
