grip server
The server command starts up a graph server and waits for incoming requests.
Default Configuration
If invoked with no arguments or config files, GRIP will start up in embedded mode, using a Badger based graph driver.
Networking
By default the GRIP server operates on 2 ports, 8201
is the HTTP based interface.
Port 8202
is a GRPC based interface. Python, R and Javascript clients are designed
to connect to the HTTP interface on 8201
. The grip
command will often use
port 8202
in order to complete operations. For example if you call grip list graphs
it will contact port 8202
, rather then using the HTTP port. This means that if
you are working with a server that is behind a firewall, and only the HTTP port is
available, then the grip command line program will not be able to issue commands,
even if the server is visible to client libraries.
