Token Management

The following commands are used to manage database tokens for the libSQL Server during local development. These commands allow developers to create, view, list, and delete tokens as needed.

token:create

Creates a libSQL Server Database token for local development purposes.

Usage:

token:create [options] [--] <db-name>

Arguments:

• <db-name>
  The name of the database for which to generate the token.

Options:

• --expire[=EXPIRE]
  The number of days until the token expires. The default value is 7 days.
  Example: --expire=14 will set the token expiration to 14 days.

Examples:

1. Create a token for a database named my_database with the default 7-day expiration:

   token:create my_database
   

2. Create a token for a database named my_database with a 14-day expiration:

   token:create --expire=14 my_database
   

token:list

Displays a list of all generated database tokens.

Usage:

token:list

Examples:

1. Display a list of all tokens for all databases:

   token:list
   

This command provides an overview of all database tokens that have been generated, including their details such as database names, token types, and expiration dates.

token:show

Displays the libSQL Server Database token or related details for local development.

Usage:

token:show [options] [--] <db-name>

Arguments:

• <db-name>
  The name of the database for which to display the token or other related details.

Options:

• --fat
  Display only the full access token.

• --roa
  Display only the read-only access token.

• --pkp
  Display only the public key in PEM format.

• --pkb
  Display only the public key in Base64 format.

Examples:

1. Show all tokens and public key details for the my_database database:

   token:show my_database
   

2. Show only the full access token for the my_database database:

   token:show --fat my_database
   

3. Show only the read-only access token for the my_database database:

   token:show --roa my_database
   

4. Show only the public key in PEM format for the my_database database:

   token:show --pkp my_database
   

5. Show only the public key in Base64 format for the my_database database:

   token:show --pkb my_database
   

token:delete

Deletes a specific database token or all tokens for local development.

Usage:

token:delete [options] [--] [<db-name>]

Arguments:

• <db-name>
  The name of the database whose token you want to delete. If omitted and --all is not specified, the command will fail.

Options:

• --all
  Deletes all database tokens for all databases. Use with caution, as this action is irreversible.

Examples:

   token:delete my_database
   

2. Delete all database tokens:

   token:delete --all
   

If you intend to delete a specific token, ensure you specify the correct database name to avoid unintentional token deletions.

Certificate Management

This set of commands provides a comprehensive toolkit for managing server certificates and ensuring server readiness. It includes functionalities to create, delete, and list Certificate Authority (CA) certificates, view raw certificate details, and generate peer certificates. Users can also manage the global certificate store by retrieving or setting its location, with a default setup tied to the installation directory. Additionally, a dedicated command is available to verify server prerequisites, ensuring that necessary components like Python 3, pip, and cryptography libraries are properly installed. These features streamline certificate management and server preparation tasks.

server:check

Checks the server requirements to ensure that necessary components are installed. Specifically, it verifies if:

• Python 3 is installed.
• Pip (Python package manager) is installed.
• Cryptography library is installed.

Usage:

server:check

Examples:

1. Run the requirement check:

   server:check
   

Output:
The command will provide feedback on whether the required components are installed and properly configured. If any components are missing, it will suggest steps to install them.

This command is useful for setting up the server environment and ensuring all prerequisites are met before starting development or deployment.
