# Server Flags

## Available Flags

| Setting     | Flag       | Environment Variable | Default   |
| ----------- | ---------- | -------------------- | --------- |
| Port        | `--port`   | `PORT`               | `9876`    |
| Config file | `--config` | `PGCONSOLE_CONFIG`   | Demo mode |

Command line flags take precedence over environment variables.

## Examples

### npx

```bash theme={null}
npx @pgplex/pgconsole --port 3000 --config /path/to/pgconsole.toml
```

### Docker

```bash theme={null}
# Demo mode (no config needed)
docker run -p 9876:9876 pgplex/pgconsole

# With config file
docker run -p 9876:9876 -v /path/to/pgconsole.toml:/etc/pgconsole.toml pgplex/pgconsole

# Custom port
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e PORT=3000 -v /path/to/pgconsole.toml:/etc/pgconsole.toml pgplex/pgconsole

# Pass config via environment variable (useful for PaaS like Railway where we can't mount file)
docker run -p 9876:9876 -e PGCONSOLE_CONFIG="$(cat /path/to/pgconsole.toml)" pgplex/pgconsole
```

<Info>
  `PGCONSOLE_CONFIG` contains the full TOML configuration as a string. When set, pgconsole parses it directly instead of reading from a file. `--config` takes precedence over `PGCONSOLE_CONFIG`. This is useful for PaaS platforms (Railway, Cloudflare, etc.) where you cannot mount files.
