Examples

Using Go

If itpg was installed using go install, you can simply run it from the command line.

However, there should be an .env file containing the SMTP credentials needed to send confirmation emails.

# run the server with HTTP and pass an env file
$ itpg -t -e .smtp-env

# run the server with a TOML config file
$ itpg -l config.toml

Using Docker

# run the server with HTTPS and pass a TOML config file
$ ls itpg-data
# output: server.crt cert.key config.toml
$ docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/itpg-data:/itpg-data vanillaiice/itpg --load itpg-data/config.toml
