APISIX CLI

The APISIX CLI (Command Line Interface) is a tool that allows you to start, stop, and manage your APISIX instances.

apisix [action] <argument>

Commands

apisix help

Print the APISIX CLI help menu.

apisix init

Initialize the nginx.conf configuration.

apisix init_etcd

Initialize data in etcd.

apisix start

Initialize and start the APISIX instance.

Options:

  • -h or --help: print help menu.

  • -c or --config: specify the path to the custom configuration file when starting APISIX. For example:

    apisix start -c /path/to/custom_config.yaml

    APISIX will fall back to the default configuration if -c is not set.
