| -log-level | MATCHBOX_LOG_LEVEL | info | critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug |
| -data-path | MATCHBOX_DATA_PATH | /var/lib/matchbox | ./examples |
| -assets-path | MATCHBOX_ASSETS_PATH | /var/lib/matchbox/assets | ./examples/assets |
| -rpc-address | MATCHBOX_RPC_ADDRESS | (gRPC API disabled) | 0.0.0.0:8081 |

## Version
```sh
$ ./bin/matchbox -version
$ sudo docker run quay.io/poseidon/matchbox:latest -version
```
## Usage
Run the binary.
```sh
$ ./bin/matchbox -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -log-level=debug -data-path=examples -assets-path=examples/assets
```
Run the latest Docker image.
```sh
$ sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm -v $PWD/examples/assets:/var/lib/matchbox/assets:Z quay.io/poseidon/matchbox:latest -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -log-level=debug
```
### With examples
Mount `examples` to pre-load the example machine groups and profiles. Run the container.
```sh
$ sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm -v $PWD/examples:/var/lib/matchbox:Z -v $PWD/examples/groups/etcd:/var/lib/matchbox/groups:Z quay.io/poseidon/matchbox:latest -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -log-level=debug
```
### With gRPC API
The gRPC API allows clients with a TLS client certificate and key to make RPC requests to programmatically create or update `matchbox` resources. The API can be enabled with the `-rpc-address` flag and by providing a TLS server certificate and key with `-cert-file` and `-key-file` and a CA certificate for authenticating clients with `-ca-file`.
Run the binary with TLS credentials from `examples/etc/matchbox`.
```sh
$ ./bin/matchbox -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -rpc-address=0.0.0.0:8081 -log-level=debug -data-path=examples -assets-path=examples/assets -cert-file examples/etc/matchbox/server.crt -key-file examples/etc/matchbox/server.key -ca-file examples/etc/matchbox/ca.crt
```
Clients, such as `bootcmd`, verify the server's certificate with a CA bundle passed via `-ca-file` and present a client certificate and key via `-cert-file` and `-key-file` to cal the gRPC API.
```sh
$ ./bin/bootcmd profile list --endpoints 127.0.0.1:8081 --ca-file examples/etc/matchbox/ca.crt --cert-file examples/etc/matchbox/client.crt --key-file examples/etc/matchbox/client.key
```
### With docker
Run the Docker image with TLS credentials from `examples/etc/matchbox`.
```sh
$ sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 --rm -v $PWD/examples:/var/lib/matchbox:Z -v $PWD/examples/etc/matchbox:/etc/matchbox:Z,ro -v $PWD/examples/groups/etcd:/var/lib/matchbox/groups:Z quay.io/poseidon/matchbox:latest -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -rpc-address=0.0.0.0:8081 -log-level=debug
```
A `bootcmd` client can call the gRPC API running at the IP used in the Docker example.
```sh
$ ./bin/bootcmd profile list --endpoints 127.0.0.1:8081 --ca-file examples/etc/matchbox/ca.crt --cert-file examples/etc/matchbox/client.crt --key-file examples/etc/matchbox/client.key
```
### With openPGP [Signing](openpgp.md)
Run with the binary with a test key.
```sh
$ export MATCHBOX_PASSPHRASE=test
$ ./bin/matchbox -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -key-ring-path matchbox/sign/fixtures/secring.gpg -data-path=examples -assets-path=examples/assets
```
Run the container image with a test key.
```sh
$ sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm --env MATCHBOX_PASSPHRASE=test -v $PWD/examples:/var/lib/matchbox:Z -v $PWD/examples/groups/etcd:/var/lib/matchbox/groups:Z -v $PWD/matchbox/sign/fixtures:/secrets:Z quay.io/poseidon/matchbox:latest -address=0.0.0.0:8080 -log-level=debug -key-ring-path secrets/secring.gpg
```
