Launching a server is done using the command:

netter stop

Start

The start command accepts the following parameters:

• --type: server type: websocket, tcp, udp, http, grpc:

netter start --websocket

• --host: server address:

netter start --websocket --host 127.0.0.1

• --port: server port:

netter start --websocket --host 127.0.0.1 --port 808

• --protect: whether to protect or not (default is no. If the flag is absent, it is also no):

netter start --websocket --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --protect

For the type parameter and server protection status, you do not need to specify anything other than the flag itself.

Stop

The stop command will stop any running server:

netter stop
