BuildBuddy Flags

There are several configuration options that are not in the BuildBuddy configuration file. These are:

--config_file · string

The path to a config.yaml file from which to read configuration options.

--listen · string · default: "0.0.0.0"

The interface that BuildBuddy will listen on. Defaults to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces)

--port · integer · default: "8080"

The port to listen for HTTP traffic on.

--grpc_port · integer · default: "1985"

The port to listen for gRPC traffic on.

--monitoring_port · integer · default: "9090"

The port to listen for Prometheus metrics requests on.

Configuration options as flags

Additionally any configuration option can also be specified as a flag instead using dot notation.

For example the following configuration option:

config.yaml

database:
  data_source: "mysql://user:password@tcp(12.34.56.78)/buildbuddy_db"

Would be specified as a flag like so:

--database.data_source="mysql://user:password@tcp(12.34.56.78)/buildbuddy_db"
