The `-auth.config` can point to either local file or to http url. **Quick start** Just download `vmutils-*` archive from releases page, unpack it and pass the following flag to vmauth binary in order to start authorizing and routing requests: `/path/to/vmauth -auth.config=/path/to/auth/config.yml` After that vmauth starts accepting HTTP requests on port `8427` and routing them according to the provided -auth.config. The port can be modified via `-httpListenAddr` command-line flag. The auth config can be reloaded via the following ways: * By passing `SIGHUP` signal to `vmauth`. * By querying `/-/reload` http endpoint. This endpoint can be protected with `-reloadAuthKey` command-line flag. See security docs for more details. * By specifying -configCheckInterval command-line flag to the interval between config re-reads. For example, `-configCheckInterval=5s` will re-read the config and apply new changes every 5 seconds. See how vmauth used in docker-compose env at . Pass `-help` to `vmauth` in order to see all the supported command-line flags with their descriptions.
