NAME

       rpyc_classic - RPyC classic server

SYNOPSIS

       rpyc_classic [options]

DESCRIPTION

       RPyC  (pronounced  as are-pie-see), or Remote Python Call, is a transparent Python library
       for symmetrical remote procedure calls, clustering and distributed-computing.  RPyC  makes
       use  of object-proxying, a technique that employs Python’s dynamic nature, to overcome the
       physical boundaries between processes  and  computers,  so  that  remote  objects  can  be
       manipulated as if they were local.

       rpyc_classic is the server component which enables remote access to the local system.  The
       following options are available:

       --mode MODE, -m MODE
              Select mode of operation. One of threaded, forking, stdio, oneshot.

       --port PORT, -p PORT
              The TCP port which the server listens to. The default is 18812 for  unauthenticated
              instances and 18821 for SSL authenticated ones.

       --host INTERFACE
              Bind to network interface INTERFACE.  The default is localhost.

       --ipv6 Enable IPv6.

       --logfile FILE
              Write log to FILE.  If not specified, log output is written to stderr.

       --quiet, -q
              Quiet mode. Only errors will be logged.

   RPyC Registry
       A  server instance can be registered with a running rpyc_registry(1) for automated service
       discovery by clients:

       --registry-type TYPE
              Connect to the registry via TCP or UDP (which is the default).

       --registry-port PORT
              Connect to the registry on port PORT.  The default is 18811.

       --registry-host HOST
              Connect to the  registry  at  host  HOST.   This  is  a  required  option  for  TCP
              registries.  If  no  host is specified for UDP, the server will attempt a broadcast
              via IP 255.255.255.255 to reach any listening registry in the local network.

   SSL Authenticated Mode
       The server supports authentication and authorization via SSL certificates.  WARNING: While
       this  mode  provides a modest amount of security, there are serious shortcomings such as a
       missing  certificate  revocation  mechanism.  Do  not  rely  on  this  to   expose   vital
       infrastructure to the Internet.

       You need to specify the following options to enable this mode:

       --ssl-cafile FILE
              Read  the  Certificate  Authority  (CA)  certificate  from FILE.  The CA is used to
              determine which client certificates are authorized to connect to the  server;  only
              client  certificates  which  have  been issued by the CA are accepted.  WARNING: If
              this option is omitted, the server will allow  any  client  to  connect,  which  is
              probably not what you want.

       --ssl-certfile FILE
              Read  the  SSL  server  certificate  from  FILE.   This certificate is presented to
              connecting clients to let them verify that the server is genuine.

       --ssl-keyfile FILE
              Read the private SSL server key for the server certificate from FILE.
