List running package servers

The ffx repository server commands can identify and list Fuchsia package servers running on the host machine.

Concepts

The package repository server is controlled by running the subcommands of ffx repository server. This server handles requests for metadata about the available packages and delivers the file blobs that make up the package contents.

There can be multiple package servers running on a single host machine. It is useful to be able to list these running servers and their properties. These properties are useful for troubleshooting or integrating package servers into a higher level system or workflow automation.

Basic command

ffx repository server list

This command supports the top level ffx options to support programmatic use of the command:

  • --machine produces machine reader friendly output
  • --schema produces the JSON schema of the machine output

Options

--full

Produce the full details for each running package server.

--name

Limit the output to package servers with the given name. This option can be specified multiple times.

Output

The default output is a list of:

  • name
  • listening address
  • repo_path

For example:

devhost      \[::\]:8083   /path/to/product_bundles/core.x64/repository

Full output adds additional fields:

  • execution mode
  • registration_aliases
  • registration_storage_type
  • registration_alias_conflict_mode
  • pid
