--db-host: The name of the host where database is available (default: localhost) [$STORK_DATABASE_HOST]
-p or --db-port: The port on which the database is available (default: 5432) [$STORK_DATABASE_PORT]
--db-trace-queries: Enable tracing SQL queries [$STORK_DATABASE_TRACE]
--rest-cleanup-timeout: grace period for which to wait before killing idle connections (default: 10s)
--rest-graceful-timeout: grace period for which to wait before shutting down the server (default: 15s)
--rest-max-header-size: controls the maximum number of bytes the server will read parsing the request header’s keys and values, including the request line. It does not limit the size of the request body. (default: 1MiB)

Mailing List and Support¶

There is a public mailing list available for the Stork project. stork-dev (stork-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective contributors, and other advanced users. The list is available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support on both of those lists.

Once stork will become more mature, ISC will be providing professional support for Stork services.

History¶

The stork-server was first coded in November 2019 by Michal Nowikowski and Marcin Siodelski.
