The API server is a gRPC/REST server which exposes the API consumed by the Web UI, CLI, and CI/CD systems. This command runs API server in the foreground. It can be configured by following options. Usage: argocd-server [flags] argocd-server [command] Examples: # Start the Argo CD API server with default settings $ argocd-server # Start the Argo CD API server on a custom port and enable tracing $ argocd-server --port 8888 --otlp-address localhost:4317 Available Commands: completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell help Help about any command version Print version information Flags: --address string Listen on given address (default "0.0.0.0") --api-content-types string Semicolon separated list of allowed content types for non GET api requests.
