Starting and stopping

Topaz offers four commands to manage the running state of the Topaz daemon:

  start              start topaz in daemon mode
  stop               stop topaz instance
  status             status of topaz daemon process
  run                run topaz in console mode

Start​

topaz start starts a docker container running the topazd command in daemon mode. The configuration will be sourced out of $TOPAZ_DIR/cfg/config.yaml, where $TOPAZ_DIR defaults to $HOME/.config/topaz.

Topazd container version​

To specify the container name and version that topaz start runs, use the following command-line options:

      --container-name="topaz"        container name
      --container-version="latest"    container version

Run​

topaz run starts a docker container running the topazd command in interactive mode, with the same configuration file as described above.

Stop​

topaz stop stops the docker container running topazd.

Status​

topaz status returns the running state of the topazd container.
