Server: Running Gruf and Command Line Options

Running gruf is simple, once you've generated some server stubs and created a controller.

Just run this from the command-line:

bundle exec gruf

This will start the server automatically, bind the appropriate controllers, and update the process title with the running status. The binary is receptive to common SIGINT and SIGTERM signals, which will safely shutdown the gRPC server and its thread pool.

Command-Line Options

Gruf comes baked in with a few command-line options for the binstub:

Option	Description
-h, --help	Displays the help message
-v, --version	Displays the gruf version
--host	Specify the server binding host
--health-check	Serve the default gRPC health check
--services	Serve only the passed gRPC service classes
--suppress-default-interceptors	Do not use the default interceptors for the server
--backtrace-on-error	Push backtraces on exceptions to the error serializer

These options will override whatever is passed in the Gruf configure block or initializer.
